Very often people accept a game invitation and then they never move again after the first move. Then they lose the game because they run out of time. I don't like winning games like that and they just inflate my rating unnecessarily.
I wish there was some way to remove those games from my rating calculation. I know it is complicated to program something like that, but I think it would be nice.

Übergeek 바둑이: you can according to this....
You can delete a started game until both players made two moves only. It means that after the player who has not started the game (black player) performs his/her second move, nobody can delete this game anymore. The main purpose of this feature is to allow players to get rid of a game where the opponent did not start to play at all without waiting for a timeout.
If your game can be deleted, i.e. it fulfills the previous conditions, a link "Delete game" will be added to the bottom of the game page, just nearby "Offer draw | Resign" links.
A deleted game is not counted for anything. Statistics of both players (number of won, drawn and lost games) will stay unchanged and the game will not be calculated for the players' BKR.

Übergeek 바둑이: Just to add to what Jason said, if the person times out in that period of time that a game can be deleted, it does not affect BKR either. So, while you can delete the game, as he says, you don't actually have to go through that effort. When they time out, you will see no changes in your ratings.
