I don't think this has a very large impact on the rating pool. It's annoying, but it will all average out. No extra points are leaving or entering the rating pool as a result of this so this will not cause general inflation or deflation. It may cause a slight "compression" effect where the lows and highs come closer together, but I believe this will be minor. The next time I run the all time rating list, I will see what happens if I ignore kartoffel's games - just to see if this has much of an impact.

I'm afraid that kartoffel may cause some confusion on the ratings. I've set mogo-big-4c-nb-32 never resign but this will help little.

I'd like to prefer every program never resign until the author of kartoffel fix the bug to prevent the ratings being corrupted.

Seems it has a serious bug on end game against weak bots. Most of its losing
games against weak bots lost on illegal move.
