A player who I was in the middle of a game with just got banned for multiple accounts. The game was automatically resigned to me but I didn't recieve any rating points for it. Is this normal?

The reasoning is this. Most often these cheats have a higher rating than they deserve. I understand this is not always the case, but RHP isn't going to take the time required to sort out whether or not a cheat had a legitimate rating.

On top of that, you didn't really 'win' the game. The player was removed. You are awarded a win rather than a draw or lost game, but giving points for these games would inflate a rating in most instances.

So, no rating points are given.

Ok that makes sense.. but in my case, I was playing a legitimate game against a legitimate person. No engine use was involved. I played a good game and was in a drawn position with someone rated higher than me.. I must deserve something for that :'(
