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 channel/videos 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 and other services. 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 if you want your forum to have spam allowed 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.
No swear words of any kind. This includes abbreviated swear words.
Respect everyone.
Respect everyone no matter what. Treat them in the exact same way as you would want to be treated yourself.
No asking for promotions.
Do not ask for a promotion anywhere in the club. If you want a promotion message @Duo-Owl privately.
No brainrot.
No stories or full sentences. Memes are allowed as long as they are funny for a good reason.
No public accusations.
Do not publicly accuse trolls or cheats anywhere in the club. You may ask a question in the notes if you want guidance, just make sure not to include their username.
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:
1st Warning (Friendly Message)
2nd Warning (Slightly Less Friendly Message)
3rd Warning (Less Friendly Message)
1 hour muted.
1 day muted.
1 week muted.
Ban hammer.
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.
