The problem I see with this idea, (as well as people intentionally throwing games to stay at the top of the bottom scoreboard) is that people would throw games to stay in the same scoreboard as their friends, so that they could play them.
Having said that, I do support some of the other ideas to add to the scoreboard (like the yearly scoreboard, and scoreboards for each game type and for each game setting), but I don't think changing/removing the current scoreboard is a good idea.
If I understand you correctly, you are saying implement the policy of barring <1400's from playing with >1400's but just don't create a separate scoreboard.
I think it is possible that there will be losers who try to stay at the top of the enlisted scoreboard. But it's not a big deal unless their point dumping is on such a scale as to make farming lieutenants viable. I think this is not the case because all you need is 1 out of 17 Lieutenants to beat the farmer for him to net a loss. (note: if conqueror deflates to 4000 points, then 1 out of 9 Lieutenants would need to beat him to net a loss)
The region where most players are concerned with and where farming begins to lift some higher out of the pack than they could otherwise attain is around Major and not the Private/Lieutenant cusp.
A little monkey business at the Private/Lieutenant cusp should be tolerated if not expected.
