why not enable ladder on new tables by default?

Making it opt-out instead of opt-in would increase activity on the ladder a lot. I see top players playing on non-ladder tables all the time and it contributes to inactivity on the ladder.

Nobody is interested in this idea? I would have liked to hear the thoughts of a staff member, perhaps.

Ladder setting would work only for registered players. Ladder, in our view, has to be a non-default table option.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
