The forum has a few basic rules, to make it simpler to navigate and to keep things organised.

Naming - Topic Name, for simplicity, is formatted in the following way, so you can quickly find what you need:
1. [For]: [Topic] / [About]. Example: ALL: Rules / How the forum works
2. For: ALL = All members & Management / Members = For non-Management / Admin = Management ONLY!
3. Topic: A simple word that describes what the post is about, so it's easier to find.
4. About: A short description that explains what the thread is about.
Posting - Only management can add topics. So, find an existing topic that best fits what you wish to discuss, then write it in there and click Post below.
Interacting - Be kind to others, no attacking and definitely NO Israel bashing! When it comes to Israel, this club is NOT a democracy & has no freedom of speech. We DO NOT allow in ANY way, for ANYONE to speak badly of Israel. Sadly there are enough places on the internet doing that already. Other than that, feel free to discuss anything you like, as long as it doesn't infringe Chess.com rules.
DON'T (please read this list carefully to adhere to our rules):
1. Post ANYTHING in Topics that are intended for Admins. If the first word in the Topic Name says Admin, then please do not engage in there.
2. Post anything that is advertising, without prior written permission from Admin.
3. Spam in any other way.
4. Disclose personal details of yourself or any other member, that isn't publicly available on chess.com.
5. Invite players to another club without prior written permission from Admin.
6. Post things that already exist. First take a look in the forum and if it doesn't exist, then feel free to post. We want to avoid duplicates so that members can easily find content & so that Admins don't need to duplicate answers all the time.
Please DO:
1. Use the forum to find information about the club, such as rules, how things work, what our vision is, etc.
2. Post any time you wish to discuss anything with other members or admins.
3. Find the right Topic to post in, so that it is engaged with correctly and with the right people.
4. Read all the club's rules as soon as you join, so you are aware of them & don't get banned for breaking important rules. You will be aware of all the rules by simply reading the topics that are named - ALL: RULES / ....
5. Not hesitate to post when you have questions or comments, or simply wish to engage with others. We are one team serving one purpose. This includes topics not related to chess, such as support with regards to the ongoing crisis in Israel & Jews & their supporters globally.
  
  This is much more than a chess club. We LOVE Israel, Jews & all their supporters, and are here for each other.
  
  Enjoy the forum & hope to see you interacting with all of us
