We have that to an extent already, Matt. All games are graded but you only get access to the full website and your current live grade if you are a member (live grades are so much more important in junior chess!).
What you are suggesting is taking it one stage further, but not sure how it works for members playing against non-members. Part of a junior's joy is beating someone with a higher grade but how strong a player they are would not be known by either player.
However perhaps it's an area that could be explored further as I do support the current rule that only members have full access to the CS site and live grades.
