How about a "no entrance under 18" age restriction like in most clubs (the ones with beer)? That would be really elitist. ;-)

A lot of people have suggested this to me. First problem with that is, how do you accurately verify a member's age? Also, I think that people below 18 are probably more likely to behave immaturely in some cases, definitely not exclusively. There will always be many exceptions and I don't want to automatically deny those people entry from the beginning. So you'd have to assess each member and their posting history to be sure.

oh good to know that it was an assumption. I thought the club was a bunch of 3-year-olds that thought that they were so cool XD

I think you should take a leaf out of L Ron Hubbard’s book. Turn the club in to a religion create a hierarchical system and charge people to progress. Gotta be the way forward 😏. Im sure the masses would love it

lmao I'll do it for tax exempt status!happy.png

I have just added a new rule that solves the issue that some people may feel excluded or left out.

Now those who do not necessarily meet the main requirements can still be mentioned in the OP under the honorable mentions section. Everybody can decide who should be mentioned there, that's not up to me or anybody else.happy.png

lc0 please don't insult other members. Snakes is very well known and established in the Blitz circles on chess.com and part of the family now, come on guys you wouldn't mind your cousin dropping a little ad here or there lol. happy.png He is gonna support us tremendously in our upcoming tournaments, we need those strong players!

Also, tax exempt status was a scientology reference. It totally missed, apparently. haha.

I do not have any questions- 

but do have a concern with your honorable mention wall  for members who do not qualify and are not members of your Elite Club.

I do not give permission to use my username in any manner. Do not use my user name anywhere on your Wall or for advertisement purposes

This is a legitimate concern as I observe a non member being so honored.

You have posted you’d like to place non members  of your Club on this new wall of yours  - any member you deem worthy .

Again - do not use my user name TY

I'm sorry if that was something frowned upon and not recommended to do on this forum. I will refrain from doing so in the future! Just wanted to provide some resources (though they are mine) that I know are beneficial to everyone!

If you have any questions though, you can always ask me directly, and not through there if you would like and I would still answer, don't you worry! ^_^
