A lot more info is now available to premium members. Not average, but the RD and full history.

@notmtwain premium membership has a lot of features,but i feel average rating is a pretty fundamental stat,and paying money for that doesnt feel right,besides i will probably waste all the extra features that i dont use anyway,,but i have to admit that stats picture looks cool

You have a history here going back two years and your rating was as low as 869 but you started playing a lot as an 1119 a month a month ago month and you reached a peak of 1407 just yesterday until it fell to 1318 today.
What is your average? It's not so easy, is it? Do we ignore the old history and just use your last month's performance?
The whole idea of the Glicko System is to tell us how reliable the ratings are and the RD (rating deviations) tells how much your rating can fluctuate from game to game.
When you are just starting the RD can be as high as 350. Your blitz RD is now down to 23, which means your rating is judged to be a decent estimate of your current strength.
