I totally agree, rules of the ladders should be somewhere more easily seeable. Both the basic concept of “correspondence king-of-the-hill fight” and the time/rule settings of the games.
I wish our ladders would be more popular, not only sitewide ones, but also group ladders too. I honestly feel like those could have lot more potential for generating games between players, but currently that potential is not utilised very well.
If you dont mind, few other ideas i like for ogs’s ladders are group admins to decide their ladder settings and more exposure for group ladders in the online-go/ladders. Just in case anoek decides to make a little overhaul for them ^___^
