Unrated is faulty

Homeworkace

I played a few unrated games and lost. Somehow my rating became affected. There's also this one time I played a game (not sure if it was rated but at that time I didn't know about the "unrated" option) and I won by game expiry. Ratings didn't adjust. Is anyone else experiencing it?

Which "unrated" game(s) affected your rating?  You haven't played very many. You should be able to provide links to the games in question.

Also, your first game was "rated" but your opponent quit on the 2nd move. Game with less than 3 moves are not rated.

That explains the time I won. And... how do I link to games from a forum post?

P.S sorry, I screwed up the quoting function. My message is at the end of it all.

If you look at games in your archive, you can just copy and paste the url:

Never met an unrated before, but it's interesting how some people start at 1000 and some at 1200. Bottom line, I guess it's just me. But I'm still too paranoid to go back to playing a share of unrated games. Guess I better take every game seriously.
