I think that default point for new players should be lower or the way what you recieve points be different, because in my case for example: I started with 1500 , i got almost 1700, and now im almost 1500 again. I think if the player gets lower than 1500 he would create a new account. And i dont know why have the 1500 minimum points, if the player that dont have it, it would make the player create a new account.

i once was at 1430, now i'm at 2255. Getting your ass kicked in the beginning isn't too bad, you learn from your mistakes and you'll be out for revenge :p
Everyone started with 1500, why would the new people get less?
Also, what if you indeed lower the default points. Let's say it's 1000. if a player loses, and drops to 800, wouldn't that just cause the same problem? Whether it's a 1500 player dropping to 1300, or a 1000 player dropping to 800, or a 0 player dropping to negative points, the same thing will happen.
And not everyone is interested in making tons of new email adresses just for a game.
This is NOT a good idea.

there is no such thing as negativ points that why ryan raised initial rankings to 1500 instead of keeping it 0. go read up about elo.

If you're good enough, you won't stay below 1500 for that long. If you're not good enough, what makes you think creating a new account will help you? You'll just lose and drop below 1500 again.
