Also, the Lichess verifying code:

"White/Black to checkmate in one move

This is a chess CAPTCHA.
Click on the board to make your move, and prove you are human.

blocks stupid/beginner people instead of automated programs.

There are also some 'hidden' chatrooms, where people discussed topics over years.
One example, the one that I have was Magnus (DrNykterstein)'s worst bullet loss (The feature is removed by now, but I guess Its not too hard to find in the database). People discussed if the opponent chatted for very long... but sadly, most of the text isn't saved, so its mostly gone by now. still, its an interesting phenomenon. I bet there are more examples like this out there.

The 3rd tip : putting a number in the search box of a tournament so that we can find the player who is ranked at that number is not working for me ;(
