Unrated? You are evidently back to protecting your rating. Unrated games tell you nothing unless you know that the rating of your opponent is valid. (Maybe if you personally know the opponent.)

By definition, someone who plays a lot of unrated games has an invalid rating.

You are nor wrong in saying that I care about my rating, but it is friday night and I just feel like playing some laid back chess. And for how accurate my rating is, I can assure that I don't play that many unrated games, and that my rating is accurate.

I didn't mean you. I meant your opponents. There are a lot of people here who manipulate their ratings and then only play unrated. People are always showing up here claiming they beat some expert or master and often it turns out to be somebody who only plays unrated since a somewhat suspicious spike in their rating a long time previous.

I assumed that you wanted to play unrated to protect your rating.  I saw how upset you got several months ago in that thread you posted when you lost 47 point- Someone help me please!!!!!

Yes. Indeed.
