why oh why are unrated games included in the statistics of wins and losses?
This is an idiotic and absurd policy.
Please explain your reasoning behind this statement.
To me, these games are still ones you have played and hence should be counted.
If it is not the way you would like it, you could raise it in the Site Ideas forum; alongside this, you could post your alternative to this way of doing things.

Why are unrated games "unrated"? So that they won't count.
Why don't they count?
Because they are casual or instructional or experimental.
If you really must make them count, have them in their own category.

Originally posted by CoconutYes, those may be counted as wins and losses because they were intended as serious games. But it wouldn't bother me if they weren't counted, either.
an issue is, sometimes you get an "unrated" game counted when a tournament game ends before 2 moves. Should that be added to your profile?

Originally posted by RegicidalI see your point - there could be reasons for having them count ro not i suspect.

Perhaps there could be a choice on the unrated games page:
e.g.
a) List this in my games won/lost.
b) Dont list this in my games won/lost.
