I've lost about 30 but for some reason I've only lost 80 rating points at the most?!

There is a ratings floor.

"Yes, after a lot of thought and discussion and some coding, we have now implemented a new system to deal with these types of players who go AWOL. After 5 consecutive timeouts, the rating of the player is frozen and all subsequent timeouts will award the other player a win according to that frozen rating."
