Unfortunately if you live in a country where YouTube is blocked, this video won't work, but if requested I'll make a version that doesn't use YouTube as the embed provider

You forgot to define the Game and Gameplay Classifications.

That's the first thing you should do!

Eh, that's a more technical thing that I don't think many non-CGAs will get tongue.png

The standard procedure of refreshing page, clearing cache, etc., should work.

When it says no quick resignations does that also mean no quick checkmates, or are checkmates that happen a few moves into the game allowed?

They are technically allowed, but refrain from using those as actual test games, since a quick mate probably means the opponent played terribly, which doesn't help with testing.

It could potentially help if it's an indicator of a common Scholar's Mate and showcases beginner strategy, but if say 50% of the testing games are just nonsense with 3 move games then it's not going to be productive.
