Sub-page of KGSWishlist

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!


  • rainier: not sure where else to put this. Having the admin messages dialog popup constantly b/c i said i want to keep a message is kinda annoying I'd like to have it so that it only pops up when there is a new message.

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....

  • User info box should have a button for chat/messages option. Easier to track down people if you don't know what rooms they are in.
  • Challenge/accepting challenge boxes should also have chat button so that the players can communicate more easily.
  • Each room's chat window (and chat windows in general) should have time log next to each comment/message. Hard to know how long ago things were said.
  • In general, I have found KGS to be a more positive and supportive environment than other baduk servers out there. (ahem, mainly IGS). I especially like the fact that many stronger players are willing to teach and/or review games for weaker players. All in all, the friendly culture of KGS is awesome. (people actually greet one another!)

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").


(moved from /discussion:)

(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.. ;) -

  • If somebody gets disconnected in a seriously fast game (ultra blitz) the opponent gets an unfair advantage - The remainning connected person, gets precious time to view the situation - This could be dealt with either by minimising the game with a msg such as "the opponent left" or perhaps hiding the stones on the board...
  • Upon reconnecting/resuming an "ultra-blitz" game, the opponents should get some time to view it - I'm suggesting to make a defaul such as 1.5 of the time per move or a min of 2.5 secs before the actuall time starts running. Later such stuff could be made as an extra option in case users don't want default handling when blitzing.
  • MarkD: Add a (A) marker close to the game type if the lesson has an audio stream.

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?


  • deg:Audio Lectures in General:

Give users the ability to replay any non KGS+ audio lectures


zinger: I would dearly love the ability to censor guests. Currently this appears impossible. There seems to be nothing stopping guests from flooding in-game chat with annoying nonsense.
