Unwritten rules in Custom Variants

Wait, the forum title literally contradicts itself.

Anyways, feel free to disagree on some of them.

1. If you are stressing about the 24 hours rule for a submission, then it is VERY LIKELY that there's an issue with the variant.

2. GD Names shall only be used with reasoning.

3. The less comments a submission has, the more likely it is for acception. This is especially true for NCV's.

4. The thoughts of ChessMasterGS on a submission will be the verdict, 98% of the time. The only counterexample I have for this is Silent Clubstep. I watched testing games of almost every variant.

5. New Pocket Chess-like challenges will only get submissions from randoms, if and only if they are extremely well-organised, creative or high-quality.

6. When a good position, or a position that has potential is posted in the Workshop thread, wait for a bit of feedback on the position before posting a new one. This applies especially to creators who post positions with little to NO effort on them. 

7. Piece spam and Serendipity are night and day in terms of difference.

8. Do not claim to find forced wins in creations of experienced creators, unless you are 1000% sure of what you're doing.

9. Anyone, who makes atleast 2 very good positions, or has any accepted positions, is a friend.

10. Anyone, who does not spend much effort on their creations and especially submissions, is not a friend.

11. Acheron may be treated like a solo project by both imchesspro0930 and brasterze.

12. Do not attempt 4P Spells, unless it is just Jump, even then, proceed with extreme caution.

13. Unique is good, but if you are going to submit it, and especially as an NCV, do extensive testing.

14. Read "How to not make a variant".

15. Do not attempt forbidden combinations, unless you are the @yx-whatever or someone extremely experienced

Tell me if there are more!

Also:
Don't do a "forbidden combination" unless you know what you're doing or have a username of @yx-111aynye

Read the "how not to make a variant" guide.

that dude is gonna be brasterze: wof version

And also:

Be careful when making an imbalance so that it's not imbalanced. Especially if you're new.

Read through the whole list of variants to make sure your idea isn't taken (jk, don't do that, you'd be sitting there for hours)

I feel like @Alyssa-Randall is trying to smash that conjecture to the ground.

List of the forbidden combinations:

giveaway + any capture

giveaway + fatal capture (how is this a real accepted thing)

giveaway + petrified

crazyhouse + atomic

spell chess + atomic

spell chess + KotH

asymmetry + fog of war

custom position + checky chess, blindfold, or ghostboard

4pc + teams (I just don't like it)

960 + anything but checky, blindfold, or ghostboard(I wish we had this)

duck chess + duck chess

taboo + n-check

replace rooks with sailboats + replace rooks with chariots

4pc + pieces face center

regicide + KotH

bots + spell chess(why does this not work)

bots + duck chess(does this work?)

Add more if you find them!

Lots of stuff on forbidden combinations forum as well. Almost all of them are illegal though.

Giveaway + Fatal/Petrified is perfectly, fine. Giveaway + Atomic is hard to perfect but is still technically possible. You forgot Setup/Crazyhouse+Bricks and finally: Gamerule Spam.

Gamerule spam is what I specialize in, as well as using bots
