It should never happen

I do not undertand what is the problem to decide never to reduce rating from a
side that won a game.

I am probably not going to have a special formula not to lose rating.
It is the job of the ICC to produce a rating that is not meaningless without a
special formula.

If they fail in this job I am not going to help them by special formula not to
play.
