When being challenged, or during a game, it should be specified somewhere whether the game is rated or not, don't you think 😕
Just a thought. 😉

Sorry, but this is not idiot proof enough. On the game page nowhere it says "unrated". It didn't say when I was challenged the game was unrated (I even checked the game details near the bottom - on the main board this gives all the information there is, at least I thought so). Heinzkat = confused

The info link on the MyGames page is the only place that the rated/unrated information appears. I agree that it's annoying when you fight out a long hard battle and then find there's no rating reward at the end. It shouldn't be difficult to get the information on to the playing page, should it?

Apparently the info is NOT accessible from the game page itself - you have to click "game history" and then "game info" to find out it's unrated. Is this true?

not sure about finished games but ongoing ones will display it in the info tab. one click. but maybe you're right it should say somewhere in the game itself. i rarely play 'friendly' games anymore but always check to see if it's rated if i didn't set the game up. i guess you'll start doing that as well.

I disagree. When you fight a long hard battle and find out theres no rating reward in the end its just your own fault since you didnt check if the game was rated when it started.

The rated info is on the info link on the My Games page and thats enough in my opinion. Most people play rated games mostly anyway. If you play unrated games you usually know which ones they are, and only have to look once at the info link to find that out.
Therefor i think that also displaying the rated info on the game/playing page itself is useless. That page is already enough crowded with info that i cant see the trees true the woods anymore (:p).

And heinzkat, when the info link displays a "No" behind "Rated" it means its an unrated game. Glad to help;o
