How is this even possible? My initial guess is that it a bug of the phone app yet to be honest I am not sure how the rating works.

The Glicko rating system can be brutish to newcomers, but this is the first I've heard of it reducing your rating after a win.  You're probably aware that you have 3 live ratings, right?  Sometimes that trips folks up; otherwise it's probably just a bug.  Any of these threads will explain how the rating works if you're interested.

This is because you abuse people with 800 ranking or lower

Be ashamed

I understand that concept. I understand that depending on the speed of the game, the rating varies , yet that is not the question.

This is not the case , and before you make a judgement and tell me to be ashamed , you should ask first.
