I think, contrary to what you are claiming, that the MAJORITY of people on this site want to play this way, not a minority.

The problem really is, especially in tournaments, that it is the MINORITY that can ruin it for everyone else. Since a tournament only moves as fast as its slowest players.

We already have the ability to start games with only players of a certain bkr, or even filter people by there level of membership, or to limit them to only being able to accept one challenge.... why not be able to start a new game with certain "speed of play" ratings as well???? It really is no different than these other filters already in use!
