My Live Rating Is Messed Up!!

Why is it that when I make a new account the rating scores in games are like +100 or -100, but when I play on my regular account it is only like +7 or +8! 

 

I would love to be gaining more rating but it's so tedious when I only get a few points at a time!

Once you play a set number of games you get an 'established' rating.  This means the system has pretty much found your level of play and you are stuck there until you can move up/down based upon consistent play instead of a few games.  Nothing is wrong with your rating.  This happens for everyone here and in USCF and in FIDE chess.
