Allow Custom Settings for Group Ladders

[yebellz]

Feature request: allow groups to customize the settings/rules of their ladders.

Various settings that could be customized:

• Time settings
• Game play rules (e.g., Japanese, Chinese, AGA, New Zealand, etc.)
• Whether analysis is enabled
• Number of active challenges
• Handicap settings?

This proposal has been brought up in several discussions in the past:

• Poll: [REDO] Pick your favorite time control settings for all future correspondence ladder games
• Ladder time limits
• Make new rules for ladders
• Ladder Rules Default To Japanese, Sadness X_X
• Make "analysis disabled" the default (poll)

I just opened the following GitHub issue to request it there as well:

Issue: Custom Settings for Group Ladders

This has the potential to be a great feature of OGS which is already strong in correspondence.

The only thing I would reluctantly add is that the current bug of ladder game results sometimes not being processed (positions adjusted) should be fixed first so that the new feature makes a good first impression.

and thankyou @yebellz for putting it on Github which was long overdue.

I know both you and I, and several others, have discussed and suggested this feature in the past (which I’ve linked above). I was actually quite surprised that no one had opened an issue suggesting it yet.

Thanks for raising and documenting the timeout bug on the issue list.
