Basically what the title says. I started a game, 3 moves later i won his queen, he disconnected and I didnt win any points? should you not win points if your up a queen?

Well. . .three moves is not a real game. Perhaps he made an error. . . and losing the Queen is almost like  losing the game. . .Guess in some occasions one have to be sport (much more than sport) and forget about the blasted rating.

Best wshes, and enjoy chess for the sake of enjoying it.

Smiledo  this job, I mean disconnecting!! But game is for fun and there should not be any thing like shame in it. Sportsman spirit should be there!  Usually I do not believe in this practice. Games may be played to the end!!

I gotta figure out how to sell rating points on ebay. Everyone here seems so attached to them I could make a fortune!!!

The points don't bother me so much. For me, it's the fact that people who don't want to play are wasting my time and being disrespectful. I am still a big fan of my idea of doing a play ban for like a week if you have habitual game aborts or if players timeout their game if they are down more than a minor piece.
