Internet Playing Site Wish List

There are some good thoughts in this thread, that I need not add to. But I have a list:
1. Clocks. This was mentioned before, but I think it's too good of a feature not to have. The default time control can be very generous, but there should be something.
2. No anonymity. Phil brought this one up, and I think it's a good one. You should have to identify your "real" name -- then I'd like to have the option to display "real names" or "nicknames."
3. The server should AUTOMATICALLY download your match log to your machine, to a directory you can specify. (GG will do this now.) If a match is interrupted, the server should hang onto the partially completed match log. (GG does not do this now, and match interruptions frequently ruin the match recording process.)
4. Please, please, PLEASE make "auto play of forced moves" opt-OUT and not opt-IN. Please! Yes, there are a tiny handful of people who do not want forced moved to be auto played for them, so I'm willing to concede having the option to turn auto forced moves off. But please, it's just GOT to be the default to have that on.
5. Here's the most important one: if the USBGF is running their tournaments on a server, there should be automatic integration of the two sites. That is, the playing server is aware of tournaments I'm in, the opponents I'm currently paired with, and can notify me when somebody I'm due to play is logged in. Then, when we finish a match, the result is AUTOMATICALLY reported to the USBGF site. If that causes a new pairing, then the players involved are immediately notified by email. The site also marks any ongoing matches that are USBGF tournament matches, so that I can pop in and watch.
