Quote from the FAQ:

Although I had finished a game, my BKR did not change! Is that an error?

No, this is not an error. There are several situations which can be a reason of that:

* Both players did not perform at least two moves. It can happen when one player loses the game by a timeout at the very beginning.

I 'm very sure.

Edit:

Also, Paying members can delete games that have just 2 moves played.

BURDUFG: You won't be accepting a never ending game anytime soon will you? LOL.

I don't even know why the never ends option is available. Seems silly and unnecessary to me.

Subject: Re:

Fencer: The only reason I can see for it to be there is to frustrate people into resigning so you can falsely raise your own BKR.

Make it never ending, make a few moves and then stop altogether so the other person gets frustrated at having it in their list and resigns. You get a free BKR boost without having played a decent fair game!

TarantinoFan: Please, don't be paranoid.

And don't play games with no time limit and accept that there are people who want to use it.

TarantinoFan: The no time limit option is useful to play with a friend that you trust not to hold the game forever. If playing with someone unknown to you, better make it unrated.

And yes, better not play rated no-time games with unknown players.
