Internet Playing Site Wish List

I agree with the anonymity to a point. If you are expert players you want to know who you are playing (especially for ratings/money or whatever, and you don't want duplicate accounts). But I know a lot of social players for privacy reasons that don't wish to have their identities known. If I were to create a site, I'd opt for best of both worlds. In the advanced competitive rooms you require your identity to be known, in social areas, anonymity would still be an option. I think in this case you can have your cake and eat it too.

How would do you differentiate between an "advanced competitive room" and a "social room"? Is it just a label or are there substantive differences?

A label seems ok -- with stipulations that tournament matches such as those sanctioned by the USBGF should go in the competitive room. I can see just labeling things working fine, with people self-segregating as they see fit, and getting a different vibe from each area.

Same dice, though. =)
