The responses in this thread are convincing me that a dress code is a great idea. It would keep out the socially clueless nerds nobody wants to be around.

I dress in old t-shirts and cheap jeans to keep away the people who would judge me so shallowly.

I bet that's working out great for ya. Tons of advantages. I'm green with envy.

Thanks for making my point :) You're being put off by my clothing, even over the internet!

Why would someone dress in such a way to turn people away?

To keep from having to deal with their obnoxious BS.

Do you think people in thousand-dollar suits are more approachable? Personally, I do not.
