Does anyone play rated bullet here?

Was there a "You must protect your 1 minute chess.com rating meeting" I missed? Most of the offers I see are for unrated. I don't get it.

Maybe it's this: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/livechess/new-logic-for-auto-pairing-and-seek-graph?

@Sred, I'm still not understanding how the information in that link translates into people offering to play bullet only if it's unrated though.

I pretty much only play rated 1 0.

Unrated is for dem pussies.

I was just guessing. According to the link, rated games with standard time controls don't show up in the search graph anymore.

I played ~14500 games in 2/1 format, and had no problem getting opponents (however, I played on the Android phone using the classic Chess.com app that does not allow to pick your opponent from the list, only "submit a challenge" is available). Anyhow, it was about a year, and I finally got tired of bullet: the only reason I played it is to practice my openings repertoir so that I dont spend much time in real life OTB games on first 10-20 moves. At this point I feel like I achieved what I wanted, and further playing bullet chess seems pointless. I may still play a few games here and there just for fun, but I switched to 5/0 blitz now, and probably will go back to 10/0 blitz eventually to have more meaningful games.
