You should only adjust to the max score (which is now a net double bogey) if you are entering the score for handicap purposes.

I also think that limiting players to a net double bogey artificially keep handicaps down as most players I know in my skill bracket (14 handicap right now) often struggle with big numbers on a few holes, but play pretty well otherwise. Take away a few 8s or a 9 and your score looks a lot better than it actually was (say an 89 vs 91)
I use the Golf Canada website for recording my scores.

I count all strokes regardless of ESC.
