Why does rank show differently in chat and on user profile?

I think I know what’s going on - when a player chats or joins a channel we store their rating information along with the message so we can later show their rating/rank information. However that doesn’t get updated per line, so if the user say joins a channel, plays a game, and doesn’t say anything after the game is resolved, their rank will be stale. So short answer, yep a caching bug.
