reinstated games timed out without new moves
Some days ago, two games I was playing against the same opponent timed out (game and game). My opponent requested the games to be reinstated, which I accepted (the reinstated games were game and game). However, he let his time run out again on both games without making any additional moves.

Nevertheless, these games (again) affected the rating of both myself and my opponent. Would it not be more logical if reinstated games that time out again without new moves were considered "short" games, so they wouldn't affect ratings?

It is very strange that our rating were affected twice by time outs in the exact same position.
