Wow, this has a lot more players than when I was here last. I beat PunchboxNET.

It’s been a while.

If it is ok, could I reset my rating? I’m thinking about unretiring and would like to restart. I hope that this pleases some people.

Can I also reset my score against you?

LMAO

Lol if you want but no one will forget, and I beat you fair and square

I have no idea what my rating was either XD. I'd prefer not to reset, but I don't even know where to look to find it

Resetting a rating is a difficult subject. On the one hand, it sets a precedent and basically means anyone can reset their rating at will. On the other, there's nothing really stopping anyone just leaving and coming back using a new account. 

The only reason to even do it is to undo the damage a string of timeouts has done, or resignations in not-lost games when leaving. But when your rating is low, you win more points for winning games, and lose less for losing. So the way to reset your rating properly is to play games.

Personally I don't see how we can allow a reset. I don't see how it can work. Most people are below the default, aren't they? We can maybe have a minimum rating though, and that could be 1200. That way, nobody gets completely cut adrift.
