Behavioural guidelines
You can do whatever you want in the Notes. But mind your behaviour in forums, event chat and announcement comments.
We encourage all members to treat others how they would like to be treated. Use respectful and appropriate language in all forms of communication within the club. Avoid bad words, foul language and racial slurs.
Do not abuse, curse, swear, fight, threaten, harass, bully, be mean to, roast, attack, discriminate, mistreat or mock other members and their beliefs, practices and ideologies. This is a secular club. We will not tolerate racism, sexism, etc. Do not discriminate against other members on the basis of nationality, gender, religion, race, caste, etc.
Inappropriate (i.e. sexually explicit) content is strictly prohibited. Avoid dark humour and such vulgar conversations because we have children here.
Do not publicly discuss/debate on political and religious issues.
Feel free to complain about other members to the owner or other Super Admins. You can complain to the owner about the Super Admins.
No purposefully voting for bad moves in vote chess.
Do not Resign in a Vote Chess game unless other players agree to resign.
Do not throw (i.e. purposefully lose) a team match.
Before joining a daily team match, please ensure that the time control of the match will allow you to make the moves in time. You need not join the match if your schedule does not permit you to join it.
We appreciate your participation in Vote Chess. However, we should not fight in the chat of Vote Chess games. If someone disagrees with the move you want to play or a strategy you have in mind, listen to them and if you still disagree with them, tell them politely. But fighting and insulting is not allowed.
Also, in Vote Chess, make sure that the move which you are going to vote is not a move which will cause the club to lose the game. See what others have to say before you vote. We do not need members voting useless moves and potentially causing us to lose Vote Chess games.
Advertisement Rules
You are allowed to promote your club, blog, forum, etc. in the Notes. However, doing it in the Advertising Forum can be more beneficial.
Do not post a new forum/announcement for advertising purposes.
Posting other clubs' tournament/match links is classified as advertisement.
Roles
Asking for promotion will not get you promoted. Your trustworthiness, activity, participation in events and number of successful invites will get you promoted.
Inactive Super Admins and Admins will be demoted.
Super Admins and Admins must not misuse their powers. Do not demote or ban anyone without the owner's permission. You should, however, mute or kick people whenever necessary.
Do not delete others' notes without any good reason.
Do not misuse your powers for avenging personal issues with a person.
Super Admins must not change the club's NAME, LOGO, PRIVATE DESCRIPTION, PUBLIC DESCRIPTION and BACKGROUND without the owner's permission. But suggestions are always welcome.
Do not cancel any events.
Do not decline the challenges of other clubs.
Do not unban anyone without the owner's consent.
Spamming Rules
Do not spam in important forums and in announcement comments.
Do not post clickbait forums.
Irrelevant links are classified as spam.
Penalties
Members who are unable to follow the above mentioned rules will get demoted/muted/kicked/banned.
Why are notes exempted?
Notes are not considered under the purview of our rules because nobody monitors the notes of some of the largest clubs. We cannot waste our valuable time in searching spams and bad words. Another drawback of notes is that the Club Audit Log does not record the deletion of notes. Hence, it is not feasible to keep track of all the notes. Important things will not be posted exclusively in the notes, so you can ignore the notes if you want.
Everyone is equal in the eyes of law. Even the club owner must follow all the rules.
We reserve the right to change or update our guidelines at any time.
Only the owner can edit this forum topic
