Can I become a Chess.com greeter? If so, how do I?

Click on Online Chess Settings to the right.

Scroll down. Near the bottom is the checkbox to become a greeter.  Check it, save, and you're done.

I think you may need to be a member for 30 days before this option becomes available.

What is a Greeter and what do they do?
When a new person registers on the site, they are given an option to play a greeter in echess.  A greeter is a member who volunteers to play new registrants in echess games.  The greeter will welcome the new member and help answer any questions about the site. If you decide to be a greeter, you may be randomly selected to play in the game.  Our system will automatically create the game and add it to your list of current echess games.

How do I become a greeter?
Becoming a greeter is easy.  First, your account must be at least 1 month old.  Second, simply visit your echess settings page and scroll down towards the bottom where you see "Chess.com Greeter", and click the 'Be a greeter' checkbox.  You may also specify how many games you are willing to play -- the more the better!
