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!
When we observe a game, it would be great if we could hide all the comments comming from players less than a given level.
Indeed, I recently watched games in which 7dans were commenting all their moves. But their comments were very difficult to follow, because between each of their sentences, there were 30 (useless) comments of other kibbitzers. (Even if we save the game, the problem is the same.)
In general, I bet that most people would appreciate to set this kibbitz to their level -2. (It allows to answer to questions from weaker player)
To make it simple, don't hide the kibbitz of friends. (This allows the user to fix bugs due to a "9d?" level, etc.).
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.. ;) -
* Answer from oiseaulyre: hiding the stones is not a good idea, because your opponents could cheat (just desactivate your internet connection, think on your move, then reactivate your connection).
* Answer from oiseaulyre, I agree, even in (slow) blitz, it is very difficult to come back after a disconnection without spending a lot of time in order to re-analyze the goban, adding something like 5 seconds to the clock then makes sense and is fair for both players.
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?
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.
og: Sometimes the choices for automatch are such that if you use automatch immediately after a game, so few people are in the "pool" that you play the person you just played already. Avoiding this would be great. Secondly, being able to choose a board size would be nice, but it's understandable if it would create too much specificity, creating problems with the "pool".
Eiyuu?: I think it would be cool if kgs could have 3 boards side by side. One board for 3 different games of 6 different players so that you could play like a team of 3 going against a team of 3 for tournament style go. :) Also to have the choice for games such as simul to be able to have all the boards on screen at once so that you don't have to keep clicking back and forth through the tabs.
