ratings adjustment

I stopped playing bullet a few months ago, and took it up again in the past two weeks. My rating rapidly climbed about 200 points. There is no reason to believe that my skill improved by a comparable margin. Were some adjustments made to the formula (or was there an infusion of weak, overrated players)?

There was a temporary change in ratings formula, it only was in force for a few days but many people used this to inflate their bullet ratings. So that now you have more points in the pool to grab.

So, with a 200 point increase, I'm a slacker.

Thanks. I'll keep trying.

I was wondering why my bullet got so high...

I should've played when the new formula was in place lol....

No wonder why 2000+ players seem easier to beat than before

I think people should only play 1 minute per game or 1 month per move. Anything in between is not chess ! 

Also it's widely known that chess, being such a dangerous sport, is the ideal setting for proving one's manhood.
