I think that you should not care about rating in the internet because it means nothing. The opponent may be a team of machine and a GM and there is no way to prevent cheatinhg. If I want to get rating that is bigger than 3000 there is no problem to do it by selecting my opponent. There are a lot of ways to cheat. I can have a friend that use a strong program against other players and lose on purpose against me in a prepared line. I think that the only games that are important to care about are comp-comp games that are played by users like the ssdf games or chessfun games or Leo's tournaments. I do not care about games against humans on the internet because I have no way to know how many of the humans cheat and use a computer and it is impossible to catch humans who use machines if they use them only in part of the moves.
