Quick question. How do you know what your rating is if you never had a match?
Hey, guys... I have a problem: my rating was somewhere 1100 like 4 hours ago, i havent played since then and now its suddenly 900... why is that?

In the real world, if you never played, you would be UNRATED. This isn't the real world.
Your rating starts at 1200 unless you're a titled player.

Florings, your standard rating is 11xx, your blitz rating is 9xx. The ratings are different for different time controls.
Hi, can anyone tell me 'how many moves must be played before a timeout is counted as victory/loss', on this site? Is it 3? (each)

All I could find was this:
Timeouts - No effects until four moves

In playing my first game on Chess.com, I received a rating of 1200, before I played. Why, and how was that arrived at?

I don't like this system of assigning a provisional rating a-priori since it means that if you are much stronger than the average player you will increase your rating at the expense of everyone else in the rating pool and establish a very low average rating for the pool as a result.
I'm not so sure about that. If you start everyone at 1200, then the average rating should be 1200, right? Unless the average strength of a new player becomes stronger, this really isn't a problem. And even then, as you say, it's the difference in ratings that matters.
Someone who's only played a couple of games is not going to have an accurate rating no matter what system you use, because there aren't enough data points. If I beat a 1200 player in my first game, should my rating be 1361 or 1600? There's no way the ratings system can know.
Hi im not bothered about ratings what bothers me is the points awarded or lost i cant work it out on a 10min blitze I won by check mate got 5 points on a 10min blitz i lost on time and lost 10 points the next game i resigned and lost ten followed by a win by check and i got 6 points does anybody understand why ?
if you play one the same rating as you you will win 8 or lose -8. draw 0. but if you are "New"to that time control then it will have a greater number like wit 10, lose -5, draw 3

Probably no one but a mathematician really understands why, but your points won or lost have a lot to do with your opponent's rating. Your Glicko RD factors in as well of course. Do a search forums for Glicko RD if you're really interested. I think there is a Wikipedia entry with the math if you're very ambitious.
Also, it is really hard to tell between a 1500 and a 1450, or a 1300 and a 1250. Ratings become more useful as your rating gets very high.
Like I win or draw vs. people from 1799 to 2000 offline, but I get crushed by 2150+ people. The gap to become a 2000 player from 1900 is much higher than even a 1200 to a 1400.
Or in blitz, where I stay even up to 2200, and I get crushed by 2300s.
