This page contains wishes from people who were too lazy to sort them into the appropriate category. Please, if you want to increase the chances for your wish to be fulfilled, take the time to check where it belongs in the KGSWishlist subpages. Maybe, someone already had a similar wish, and your ideas add up nicely!
xin421?:I sugest to add a check box and a input box in "new game" create window that let user check it to open "time limit to back", if checked, user can input a time period that allow disconnected user come back to continue play in that period, if exceed, that game will be won by the waiting guy.
User can select use it to avoid escape or just uncheck it and play like before.
Mef: 2 problems here - 1: Sometimes people get disconnected for long periods of time. 2: wms likes to maintain the policy that no one must finish a game if they don't want to (in case of an extremely rude opponent. With this feature pestering your opponent into leaving would earn you a victory).
iLoveSai: I've been playing on KGS for 2 weeks now. Absolutely *LOVE* it. However....

Hu: See also KGS Wishlist. I don't think your first wish will be granted. I think wms likes the fact that users can hide out on the server and chat in some obscure room or by private chat without being bothered by fans (for example pro and high dan players who have fans). I think time stamps would clutter the chat. I would like to see a limited message capability with Challenge boxes, and a way to give a reason for declining (including "Decline to state").

(HELP! Dunno where to put these.. (Under Dunnos, maybe? ^^*))
Reuven: Just wondering about the ranks, are they sent as a relative mark or is the whole rank sent? To be exact - Are "special" ranks possible? For example, Mj for meijin or Nt for some new title or something?
(Me again - Not sure where to suggest it - If somebody's registered, due to the blacklist problem, they might need to wait 24 hours to get their account freed and re-register it with another email. Why not make a "Didn't get the email" type of option, so that if somebody's still logged on, they'd be able to cancel it, and re-register on spot with another email?)
(Guess who? ;) - Blitz games this time.. ;) -
Mik: Sometime i change the topic of a main room, but often many people dont notice it at all, is it possible to add a blinking "news" icon or text to advice people of changes for a few days?
KGSgtp suggestion
Allow bots to connect to games and observe them. The bot would (upon joining a room) get a list of all games and ba able to join them via a GTP command, and then receive the moves already played, captures, and new moves via teh standard GTP play command.
This would be great to be able to watch live games, and at the same time see how an engine's analysis algorithms are looking at a given position. Overall, this would help advance go a little towards the level of chess engines, where you can get interactive analysis of positions with a list of 'good' moves to play.

I guess I don't know where to place this either, I read through all the pages and maybe i missed it, but ONE COLOUR GO! One colour go would be a most excellent addition.
