Re: serious question
Allow you allow multitabling? Yes.
How many? 2, 4, 8, Unlimited? 4 would be a good limit. Many people like to play multiple tables so they don't get bored. More than 4 and you have the multitable HUD BOT grinders.
Allow unlimited datamining? NO.
Restrict hand histories to hands in which the player was dealt cards? Of course.
Allow PAHUD? Forbid PAHUD type programs. Sure. PAHUD, they can only use the history of people they have played or are playing against.
Show table statistics in the lobby like % players to the flop, average size of pot? Yes.
Have a "buddy" list? Forbid a "buddy" list and take steps to prevent one being used? Many casual players like buddy lists, so they can find their friends, and like most sites allow the option for players to make themselves invisible to buddy lists.
Have tight requirements on time to act, or be liberal?
Both. Fast tables and slow table options.
Allow players to transfer funds, or forbid it?
I think player fund transfers only lead to trouble.
Allow players to buy in with credit cards, or allow only debit cards or transfers from the dozens of e-wallets?
Accept anything and everything, including food stamps.
I think much of the popularity of Party was the ability for fish to get money on and off the site easily without hassle.
You are going to have to eat some credit card fraud, but with good IP monitoring, should be able to keep it to a minimum.
