Accidentally resigning while winning

[gennan]

@PJTraill

the numbers of games played in (e.g.) the past 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days and 365 days, and how many of each those were annulled? That would help clarify the situation.

I can’t answer with any accuracy, but I can make some educated guesses.

From …

(Unofficial OGS rank histogram (and graphs) 2022)

… it seems that on average some 30,000 games are started (and finished) daily in recent years.

For a back-of-the-envelope calculation, I’m guesstimating that roughly half of those games are ranked, so some 15,000 ranked games per day.

@gennan

I estimate that many dozens of games were annulled by moderators daily.

If roughly some 75 ranked games are annulled by moderators per day, it means roughly 1 in 200 ranked games gets annulled by a moderator (which seems far too low a number to me for any shenanigans other than just following up on user reports).

I have about 200 ranked games in my game history, so I would expect to have about 1 of my games annulled by a moderator.
I think this even happens to be the case (a game from a few years ago, where I reported it and the moderator handling the report annulled the game).
