Beginner is gold elo
I dont think that beginners should play in gold elo and ruin others games. They havent learned the basics of champions and they just dive in, and the only way they understand of it is by killing them.

How you mean in gold ? New ranked players get placed in iron not a change they start in gold.
Yes, If they climbed there they deserved it, if they don't they will demote.
I mean, are you a beginner Caitlyn, Akali, or Katarina? Are we purely going by peoples' scores? How do you suggest we determine how 'good' someone is with a champion? As someone else stated, they climbed if they deserve it, and they'll demote if they don't. Riot isn't going to put restrictions on what champions can be played in any game mode - regardless of how many times someone has played that champion, their current mastery level, the day of the week, or phase of the moon.
Remember - Riot is a business. One sure way to piss of their players (customers) is to put restrictions on the usage of content, especially champions. Whether someone was gifted a champion, paid for it with blue essence, got it from loot chests, or paid for it outright with real money (RP), if all of a sudden they turned around and inserted rules like "You must be mastery 3 on champions before you can play them in ranked," players aren't going to be happy with that.
Also, mastery is not a measure of skill. It's a measure of how often you play a champion. I've met quite a few master 7 (insert champion here) who have no clue what they're doing, and I've been shat on numerous times by opponents with no mastery at all - they understand the game and what to do beyond pressing Q W E R.
I think this is more of a discussion for the Gameplay boards, not player behavior.
