GROUP RULES(2020-11-2):
Offenses: First offense will be a warning, Second will be mute for three days, third will be a ban for a decided amount of time.
GROUP A: Severe Rules
The following rules are strict. Breaking them will result in an offense (or possible mute/ban).
1a. No spamming. Spamming can be identified as an utterly useless, entirely off-topic comment or note. It can also be recognized as an overly long post that has no meaning(for example, too many of the same letters). Long posts that have sense, such as a long explanation, are acceptable.
1aa. Advertisement of anything(i.e. other groups, newest "Manhood Pill", etc.) is not allowed unless an admin says otherwise. Advertising in designated forums is acceptable.
2a. No repeated asking for adminship. One ask is enough. See exception 2a for exceptions.
3a. No swearing. This applies only to the big words: words like damn, hell, and crap are acceptable.
4a. No pornographic material. Keep things rated PG-13 and below.
5a. Deliberately resigning in team match games will earn you an offense.
6a. Follow all the Chess.com rules. Remember that this club is still in Chess.com.
GROUP B: Non-severe rules
The following rules are non-severe. Breaking them may or may not result in an offense, depending on the severity. If the break is not severe, then it may result in the note or comment where the rule was broken to be deleted.
1b. No personal attacks. This means aggressive name-calling, provocation, severe rudeness, etc.
2b. No religious or political debate.
3b. Keep things in their designated forums. If no panel meets your standards, then create one.
Converse 3b. Do not create a forum to post something when there is already a forum for your post.
4b. Please do not cheat in forum games. You will ruin the fun of the game. Please just answer with your knowledge.

Other important rules:
1) Losing games by "Timeovers" or "Sabotage" cancels the achievement of games that will take place so far, so the participant must start everything from scratch. In case of losing games on purpose it will be considered "Sabotage", and will be definitive expulsion from the group.
2) There is no way to accept people who use external help, either through programs, engines, or other people.
3) Excess games: If a member plays on the site + than 100 games simultaneously, it is very likely that they will never be able to pay enough attention to each game, and they would also be at high risk of losing to Timeovers. Our recommendation is not to fill up with games that you can hardly handle, play the fair and necessary ones in order to have control over them.4) To the sports conduct that is required of the member, the honesty must be added in every order, cordiality and respect with which he conducts himself internally and with adversaries. Representing the Club requires institutional decorum beyond performance on the board. Faults such as having aggressive attitudes, bad companionship or abnormal behavior such as being "Troll", may be sanctioned with the expulsion of the team.
5) The technical commission reserves the right of admission.
6) All members must respect chess.com policies and rules (https://support.chess.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1444879-fair-play-on-chess-com-what-you- need-to-know). Punishable behaviors (such as insults, racist, violent, disrespectful comments, public reporting in forums or user walls suspected of cheating, spamming activities for their own benefit, etc.) that cause the ban of accounts and consequent damage to the team.
7) Do not seek to stand out individually, the competition is not internal, our rivals are true powers of chess, and only with joint organization and commitment can we face such challenges. Only the trajectory and the humble dedication in favor of the team's achievements will grant them, over time, a benchmark place in our senior squad.8) You cannot publish links to join another team and if there is any agreement you can do it in the chat or privately, without exception.
9) The SA, administrators and coordinators are the main ones in complying with the rules for the club to be successful.
We want to thank you for belonging, and hopefully you will achieve your goal.
