Subject: Unrated games

Could unrated / uncounted games be marked somewhat differenlt than others? It's happened to me on some occasions to made a brilliant win (or an humilliating loss, as well) only to find out in the end that my BKR wasn't updated. The last time it happened to me just a little ago, I was 1 game away from an established rank. And now I still am, because I just accepted the game almost blindly not looking at its properties carefully enough.

Suggestions, by order of preference (and probably ease of implementation too):

The text "unrated game" at the game page could be made red or something that stands out easilly.
On the waiting games list (or incoming invitations) the game could show up with a little grey dot next to it.
There could be a Setting to choose wheather or not Unrated games should be displayed in game lists.

pauloaguia: I would have the same suggestion about the "private game" attribute (although in fact I would even prefer if private games didn't exists) which can easily get unnoticed. And all this would be consistent with the fact that the "no vacation" attribute is already marked in red : simply marking in red all non-standard game attributes.

pauloaguia and nabla: I would also have the same suggestion about the "not counted" option, which I don't see the point of anyway and would prefer if, instead, all unrated games were also not counted and the not counted wasn't a seperate option

What is the point of an unrated and counted game anyway? besides messing up finished game statistics.
