I'm quite happy for my games to be published. Particularly any amusing ones. It can give everyone a laugh.
Not particularly happy if date of birth is published to the wider world.
And if ECF, Fide or a tournament organiser has my date of birth. It will nice if they sent a card or e-card on my birthday but not disclose it to the wider world.
Funnily enough I have never seen John's terms and conditions, and never passed onto leagues, or clubs to pass onto very oid players without computers, or new. And we have not got any small print in our agreements as members of a club. But make them aware of league rules.
Actually Surrey implemented a very good one on conduct of players, rather than just club officials, and it ought to be implemented far more widely.
Had plenty of annual agreements with players as a football club secretary - as it is part of FA rules, Surrey FA rules, and helps run the game the right way. And bans those that need to be kicked out of the game.
As long as LMS are not going to charge leagues, clubs or Individuals more money that is fine by me. Though on any voting I would go for one system for the ECF and expect them to carry out the appropriate legal and financial checks. Is your system work not for profit. I doubt it? Any of my chess voluntary work is free.
I'd want one source of input so that the ECF can sort out grading themselves without 3rd or 4th parties. And rather not have it too frequently.
John - Be very nice please and change my age to grumpy old git if it appears on your system or any links to your system.
