Online-go.com: Downloaded SGFs still show old rankings

Summary

Downloaded SGFs still show old Rankings, even tho game was started under new system

Hi,

Just a note to say this bugs affects people who upload their games to gokibitz as well as the Open Study Room system.

[alexmitrani]

It is not clear what they are, sometimes the rankings stored in the SGFs are way out. It is only clear that they are not the actual ranks displayed in OGS.

[alexmitrani]

SGFs are probably one of the few areas where KGS is clearly better than OGS. Every day OGS users who upload their kifus to gokibitz.com are editing their SGFs to correct the ranks or leaving comments such as "actual ranks are..." on gokibitz. While this is not a massive amount of work it is irksome and strange given how good OGS is in other respects.

This is a huge issue that makes OGS incompatible with major review sites like https://gokibitz.com

I've had several dan friends abandon OGS and return to KGS where exported SGFs do not have this issue.

Please fix this!

Finally fixed this on the back end, should be deployed later today.

[climu]

Sorry to raise that again but I think there is still an issue with players who doesn't have a rank on OGS.

This game for instance show odnhis as 13 kyu while he has a ? on his profile.

Thanks for all!

[anoek]

Would it be preferable to display a ?? 13k is the actual rank underneath the hood, the deviation is so high that it's not really a good estimate, hence why we mask that on the interface by putting a ?.. but math wise, 13k is correct.

[SharpKing]

IMO it would make sense to follow the same logic as display on OGS. So if the deviation is high enough, show ‘?’. It’s more accurate than 13K because that happens to be the default rank for the glicko2 or w/e system. (not an expert on that!)

[BHydden]

Yeah I agree if the uncertainty is too high rank should just be '?'

[anoek]

Alrighty, deploying the change in a few minutes
