Verify account

Hello, I have produced over 500 chess videos and would like my account verified.  Thanks.

Daniel

What do you mean by verified?

I mean that I would prefer that other players with similar-looking names cannot easily impersonate my Twitch/YouTube brand, my real name, etc.; some sort of "this is the real person" badge even though I'm not yet NM.

(Someday I'll get NM; I captained a team which won IHSA [Illinois], and OTB in classical chess - USATN - I had a winning position against at-the-time NM Rosen.)

Thanks for your consideration.

I have impersonation chat logs.  I don't even want to link to other sites; as a content creator and author of Stockfish, I just don't want to be impersonated:

Pretty sure the site isn't going to do anything like that for non-titled members. 

But if you have proof of direct impersonation on this site, you can report it: https://support.chess.com/article/209-how-do-i-report-someone

I do not have the resources to monitor your site 24/7 for evidence of slander etc. and I imagined my proposal to be reasonable.  It seems we are at an impasse.

Man ur not popular or relevant in any shape or form. Much more popular streamers like Anna Rudolf etc get people copying their username.

Deal with it. U should be happy there's even someone copying ur username. Grow up man.

Anyway there's no verification system on chess.com. It's not like youtube. 

I am not asking for a system. I made no claims about my popularity among players on this site.

U are. ur asking to be verified. There's no such thing on this site. ur account is just an account, there's no option to make it "verified". 

It's not illegal to copy someones username, so i'm not sure what ur trying to achieve here.

I will publish a video to my followers and subscribers explaining this further since it is clear we are not speaking the same language.

I play on my IPad via this website.   Can I use my ITunes money to purchase one of the Membership Plans?  I downloaded the Chess AP from he ITunes Store.   It appears to be developed by by thus site Chess.com,  yet, it does not allow me to sign in with my same username and password as used here.  Are these two steps independent of each other?

Thanks, John

Since the membership is a subscription, you'll need a payment method that allows renewals.

As to the login, they are the same for the website as the app.

clearly we're not if u still don't understand chess.com isn't youtube or twitch. 

Yet again you are uninformed:

Twitch and Chess.com Enter Multi-Year Partnership - StreamerSquare

good luck with that lmao

Wait. Do you mean you want to be a chess.com verified streamer? I mean, that IS a way for people to know the real streamer from the fake one. 

Sure, I'd be glad to be the first untitled chess.com verified streamer who streams on a different chess site; I constantly remind players of that site that chess.com has many merits and does many things well.  But honestly "developer" or "ambassador" or "coach" or "teacher" or "tournament player" etc. would suffice.

I submitted an application explaining my situation:

    Thanks for applying to be listed on Chess.com/streamers. A member of our staff will review your submission and respond to you if we have feedback or decide to move forward with listing you as a Streamer. Thanks again for applying!

If you don't stream while playing on chess.com you won't be accepted.

Dude, if you were as "special" as you think you are, chess.com, Lichess, and whatever other site you want to name, would be seeking your "omnificent knowledge." Seems they're not interested.

They're likely pirating my GPL-licensed chess AI (for on-demand in-browser variant analysis) and have some interest in my work; I'm not claiming to be special, I just would not care to be easily slandered by impersonators who call me a cheater, so if they could either make a statement clarifying that I am unwelcome, or do something about the easily-impersonated problem, either would be much appreciated.
