Club Suggestion

I have a suggestion: Can there be an option to make a club that the public cannot see, and people can only find out about it if they are invited? 

Or, make an option that prevents people that aren't in the club to see the members in the club. That works too.

So a private club? That sounds like a good idea.

Yeah.

Why does it matter if other people know about it? Its already possible to make club where you have to approve people to join.

Good idea. It's like an unlisted club, where no one gets to know about it. I like it happy.pnganonymous.

Yes. there should also be an option where its invite only (so you can't apply, you have to be invited using the 30 invites a day)

er, if no one knows about it then it would be impossible to enter matches, because everyone would know about it, self defeating you see

who says these clubs will want to play matches? and they can still play vote chess

Why would we want to play matches?

Well if that's the case then you might as run a private forum type club

I dont know if this idea is the best...

but look here... once you disable a club, and go to its members page (saved as a link earlier) 

you can view everything from there! You can create forums. news, etc.

https://www.chess.com/clubs/members/disabled-9club - this is a place where you get to see everything and www.chess.com/club/disabled-9club is somewhere you see the club disabled, and get redirected to chess.com/clubs instead.

 

Now, it doesnt show up in member's club list! 

Awesome idea?

Only certain users can create the secret clubs
