Hello and welcome to our official rules! Upvote and react to support our amazing community!

Club Rules:

Follow the Chess.com Community Guidelines.
No advertising. Do not advertise your clubs, yourself, your blogs, your arenas (unless they are a club arena which The Vortex Order is in), your Youtube or other websites in forums, notes or live chat or anywhere else. Sharing pictures or gifs you made is acceptable, but not in notes or the live chat. If you think that our members will like what you're advertising or you want to partner with this club, ask @Duo_Owl in a personal message. Chess.com coaches are allowed to advertise their lessons. You can advertise in the Advertising Forum.
No spamming. No spamming of any kind unless in a forum where spam is allowed (ask @Duo_Owl) before creating one of these. Also, do not create double forums. Click post one time only, it takes time to load. You can spam in the Spamming Forum.
No cussing. Imagine you are talking to primary school children.
Respect everyone. Respect everyone no matter what. No questions asked.
No asking for a promotion. If you want a promotion message @Duo_Owl privately.
No brainrot. No stories or full sentences.
No public accusations. Do not publicly accuse trolls. This is what they want. Only create a forum if you want guidance.
Respect the decisions of the staff. If the admins make a decision, it is for a reason. Do not argue unless you did nothing out of compliance with these rules.
Have fun! (or else)

Consequences:

Hopefully these consequences do not have to happen. We will likely only ban chess.com trolls, or people who badly disrespect the rules.

Thank you for reading the official Vortex Order Rules! We hope you enjoy.
