Help - Using The Membership Database

Note: The details held in the membership database will not be, and are not to be, used for commercial purposes.

Finding a specific member

  1. Select Membership from the main navigation menu.
  2. Click on Membership Database.
  3. Use the search form at the top to find the OTGS member. Type in their first name and/or last name, and click Search.
  4. The system will search for all players who look like a match for your search. They will be split into two sections:
    • Exact matches are those people who exactly match what you typed in.
    • Partial matches are those people who have your search as part of their name
    Partial matches are useful if case you aren't entirely sure how to spell their full name - just type in part of the name and look through the results. For example, typing Mont into the surname field will list Tony Monteuuis under the partial matches.
  5. Find the user who matches, and click on their name. You will be taken to their membership profile.
    • If the person you are looking for is not listed, you can change your search parameters and try again.

Sending an e-mail to a member

If the member has opted to have their e-mail address listed in the membership database, you can simply use that to send an e-mail to them using your normal e-mail software.

If the member has opted to keep their e-mail address private, you can contact them via the website:

  1. Follow the instructions in Finding a specific member in this document to find the membership profile of the person you want to e-mail.
  2. Their e-mail address will be listed as Address hidden - click on Contact through the website.
  3. You will be taken to an e-mail form.
  4. Set a subject and write your message.
  5. Click on the button that says Send message.
