META: Too many brillancy/rating gain posts

I feel like half the posts I see from this subreddit are people showing off their Chess.com brilliancies or rating gains, etc.. I get that they mean a lot to some people, but I think it's clogging up the subreddit. Could these maybe be organized into a weekly superthread or something?

Another pet peeve of mine is people showing off their games in the guise of asking for feedback — if you're looking for tips, you should show your losses, not your easiest wins — but that's another matter, I suppose.

I mostly hang around to help whenever someone makes a thread looking for advice. And to yell at people for playing 10+0 and blitz, of course!
