Re: [Fgs-bs] Upload SGFs

[tps12]

IAWTF. Does this effectively put an end to the notion of the Free game? 
Even if my opponent does not want to play a ranked game, I can always 
download the SGF afterward and resubmit it for ranking. This looks like 
a loophole, but I don't think it is. E.g., if player A asks player B for 
a game, and B says, "well, I've had seven beers, so I'll play, but it 
has to be free." Then B will just play and not have to worry about 
hurting his rank. A can play, and then if she feels like it, she can 
upload the SGF (or ask that it be ranked, for her only). Again, there's 
the question of, "do I want to put a game with a drunk in my rating 
calculation?" In short, if you're silly enough to want to do this, well, 
you get what you deserve.

Well, "we" sure should, at some point.

Good question, and I have no idea.
