Chess Variant Pages Membership. Missing description[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]If i will register, when nothing will send to me by e-mail, expect password and instructions?
There is no one who may be held accountable for an anonymous post, and without a userid and password, the author cannot confirm his authorship and edit his document after posting it.
I DON'T speak about playing on game courier, this subject is over! I told: why you must be member to POST games, invented by you (or by someone else, who's game you know, but it's not described on this site).
Quick or not, the same risks would remain if you were to play without a userid and password, and not using them is not going to make your games go any quicker. It also allows you to get a rating, which you could not do by playing anonymously. Requiring a userid and password for posting games helps prevent spam posts. If someone misuses the ability to post games on our site, we can revoke that ability. It also enables features, such as the ability to see a listing of other pages by the same author. Quite frankly, I see no good reason why you would care to participate in this site without getting a userid and password. Even if you're paranoid about people knowing who you are, you do have the option of using a pseudonym.
Ok.. I said 'quick games', but nevermind, playing games here is just stuff, they can be played in real life... But looks like what posting games only by members is just because someone can use your name... I am not afraid about it, but why not posting games at least anonymously?
Flowerman, Only members and registered users have userids and passwords, and a password is what keeps others from making moves in a game someone else is playing and what keeps your opponent from accidentally moving your pieces when it is your turn. Also, having a userid makes it easier to keep track of what games you are playing on Game Courier, because it allows you to view a listing of them all on the Logs page. Using userids also keeps email addresses out of the logs, which helps keep them away from spammers.
@Claudio
You need to click Post your own game, and select the relevant options for the type of game you are posting.
@Flowerman
Because as I have said earlier, you cannot discuss or rate the variant in some discussion thread, and secondly it is preferred that you use graphics to aid the explanation of the game, which is better used in an official page.

By the way. Howdo I do to post my works and get the purple(?, I'm a litle colorblind) squre with a white m? Hugs.
Why it's mandatory to be member for posting variants?! Just because someone can use your name?.. And why not play on game courier quick games with random opponent (registred or not)?

User id pleyades21 should now be registered, and I have emailed that user a new password. Sorry about the continuing problems with email...
Thanks Joe. We can work around for checking our turn to move. But how about new memberships? Can someone reset the password of my friend pleyades21 so that he can start playing in CV?
Joe Joyce wrote on Fri, Feb 22, 2008 05:57 PM EST:Hello, Jose. Yes, unfortunately, there is a problem. The invites and games will show up on the Game Courier Game Logs page, but you have to look there to find it. The email system is broken. No one gets notifications.
Is Chess Variants not been able to send emails anymore? I'm tyring to get a friend subscribed to CV to play a game of Modern Chess, but the email with his password has never arrived. His id is: pleyades21 I notice that I'm not getting an email advice when my opponents make their moves. Is there a problem? Who can help me?
📝David Howe wrote on Mon, Aug 6, 2007 08:28 AM EDT:You have two accounts, one as a contributor and one as a user. Your
contributor account had no email address associated with it, so there was
no option for you to register. I have now added your email address to your
contributor account, and you should be able to register using that account.
Just go to your member page.
Looking at this page it says select your name from the top list, press the 'Send' button, and then follow the instructions on the screen for registering a member name as a contributor.
Since I've contributed a variant, I'm listed in the top list. However, selecting it and clicking Send brings to a page with absolutely no information on how to combine my user-id with the contribution I've done.
📝David Howe wrote on Sun, Mar 11, 2007 10:24 PM EDT:You are now a contributor! Apparently, all you have to do is ask!
Hi, can anyone tell me WHAT EXACTLY do I have to do in order to become a contrubutor/member whatchamaycallit who can post up his own chess variants? Thanks
i want to know how i can be a contributor so i can add a variant [Karl -- presto! You are now a contributor. --Editors]
Sorry... right after I posted, my game was put up...
Matt, the delay is not due to lack of interest, rather lack of time. Hopefully it can be posted soon. Interested volunteers (hint) should inquire with the editors.
Joe Joyce wrote on Fri, Jan 27, 2006 02:52 PM EST:Hi, Matt. It's unlikely your submission was rejected. Ms. Bagley-Jones was being optomistic when she said 'one week'. My first submission took a fair bit longer to get posted, as did my second. There is a severe shortage of editor time on this site, unfortunately, so things go slow these days. Don't worry, most of us find it's worth the wait. I designed my second variant while waiting impatiently for the first one to get posted, as a way to relieve the tension. In the meantime, welcome to Wonderland (and check out Alice - one of the many fine variants here). Enjoy. Joe
Still not up... I was submitting a variant based on Invader Zim... do you think it was rejected?
you won't get a response. your game could go up anytime from on that day, next day, up to a week, i don't think you would wait more than a week.
