Games not Annulled

[Thyderion]

I guess it would be nice if there was something added to all the posts regarding annulled games where it is explained that the N moves on an NxN board is no longer the limit for what makes a game annulled as it is obsolete.

Top results when searching Annul:

How is a game ranked if it is called "annulled"? When would it be annulled?

I see when games timeout quickly, they are considered annulled, how does this get applied to my rank, and where is the tipping point?

Annulled games question

What’s the status of this issue? I also have to say that this is way too many moves. People can just leave without punishment that way, if for example a joseki didn’t go as they liked. Once someone starts playing the game, they should be committed. A couple of moves safety margin, like 5-6, is more than enough.

The top 2 results have the outdated explanation in one it’s stated by a member of the OGS Team.

At worst I had assumed it treated the 9 handicapped stones as 9 moves for black and 8 passes for white with 2 actual moves putting it at 19, but if it’s only 2 moves then neither post is accurate. I had never aborted a game that early before so didn’t realize there was different terminology to “Cancel” a game vs Resigning and having it be annulled. Would have played both games out had I known and will ensure it doesn’t happen again.
