Lock out noobs
Plasmarobo:
I would have sucked at this game and gave it up as a bad job had I not flown against Zill early on.
I thought I was hot stuff at the time, and then he, Yiski, and Shink pounded me into the ground a few times. I not longer thought I was good.
I dislike petty discrimination or segregation based on the fact that it's sometimes difficult to get along with other people. On average I have met great people who were willing to listen and learn, even if it didn't seem like it. I've had some very inexperienced players do a great job on my ship because I was a bit patient with them, and explained how things work.
If you are unwilling to teach newbies then you need to find a group of players to buffer yourself with. Otherwise you are going to have to take a good hard look at how you relate to new players. If you are consistently having a bad time, you might look at changing your own behavior, rather than trying to ship away the "problem".
It seems to me like you are trying to find an easy way out, rather than take the time to sort the problem properly. It is true that some people are there to ruin the experience for others. But really there are at least three better ways to tackle this particular issue. Nobody should have to be put in the "Pool on the Roof" group.

New players should be allowed to continue joining regular matches to learn the meta then go back to "beginner matches" and pub stomp with that meta until they no longer qualify for "beginner matches." The best way to learn the meta is to fly with someone who knows it. The second best way is to fly against someone who knows it. Dicking around until something works is a distant third.

Read OP, all of you. This thread is about forcing tutorial/ranking up to level 2-1-1 to players. Or at least that is my understanding. I completely agree with you about everything else. I don't want to alienate new players. I don't want to do anything of the sort. I guess the title is sort of misleading. Nobody here wants a separation of players. (Okay, I shouldn't speak for everybody, but it's safe to say most of us don't.)
Edit: Requesting name change to something more descriptive of proposal. Maybe "Require new players to complete tutorial or reach level 2." or something. I see how it's misleading.
N-Sunderland:
Easier solution: mandatory tutorials.
Keon:
I supported that idea as well, if you recall.
