if they wanna practice and not use ratings up, play in unrated room, whitch there is;)

Buy lego chess (been out ages, probably get it for a few quid) and play on there, it actually has a good training mode, it's lego! and dare I say it's fun to play B-)

I agree that you need Professional Help!!! ;) but I don't agree what you said about the moderators, because many of them are really cool once you get to know them!!

Actually the majority of mods I know are English.

Anyway, a training room would be nice but like has been said there is the unrated room.  

tell ya what would be a good idea

a tutorial video for each game. for pool it would show how to aim and shoot ect. and for chess explain all the peices and moves and so on.  

ideas r good but fod think about the pennies and if they do that subs will go up
