They should make new tournaments using the 3/2, 5/5 time control.  Also stop doing only 1200-1499, 1500+, and open...make some 1300+, 1400+.  Also it would be great if they took off the limits on tournaments for non members

Not sure what you mean about taking off the limits on tournaments for non-members.  Do you mean the limit on the number of tournaments a non-premium member can play?  Why does that make sense? Doesn't it make sense that there would be some benefits that premium members get that non-premium members don't get?

Perhaps you mean you want unrated guests to play tournaments. How could you play if you were a non-member? All you have to do to get an ID is to register with an email address. That helps to identify people who try to game the system with multiple accounts. Without it, how could the tournament tell who is who from round to round? 

Why would somebody want to play a tournament game against someone who can't be bothered to fill out a two line form?

I don't play in tournaments because they fail to exclude those with provisional ratings (i.e. RD above 80).
