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
- Select Membership from the main navigation menu.
- Click on Membership Database.
- Use the search form at the top to find the OTGS member. Type in their first name and/or last name, and click Search.
- 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.
- 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:
- Follow the instructions in Finding a specific member in this document to find the membership profile of the person you want to e-mail.
- Their e-mail address will be listed as Address hidden - click on Contact through the website.
- You will be taken to an e-mail form.
- Set a subject and write your message.
- Click on the button that says Send message.
