| or maybe he won't care about ratings. |
Maybe not, the problem is that before the drop he used to be able to play in master tournaments, now he can't anymore and can only play in beginner ones (and open?).

I think Marcel dont worry about this.
He just want to have fun...
More down you are, easy to get up. See the rating formula...
Best regards Marcel, we wait you back soon.

Yes, true. 
| I was very surprised to see his rating dip so much |
Well, if you lose that many games, your rating's going to take quite a hit. It is a little surprising that he kept on losing points, though: once the rating difference gets large, you only lose a fraction of a point for losing a game.

What, you mean by deliberately losing games to him?

Well, if you look at the member list and sort by rating, you see that poor CampbellMarcel has a rating of 35; the next lowest is 581, with another seven between 900 and 1000. I did once see a player rated about 300 but that was a dummy account that had lost a few hundred games, all to the same guy, all by resignation without any moves being played. Needless to say, both accounts were cancelled.

Looks to me like his rating has been reset to "unrated", which is probably fair, since anyone losing to him would suffer a HUGE rating hit that probably isn't deserved. Hopefully he'll be back soon.
