They Did. Promoting Devil Worship on this Chess Platform will not be tolerated, so grab your Gargoyles and Bag of Tricks and Kick Rocks...

not in america where we are supposed to have religous freedom. there is the satanic temple-  https://thesatanictemple.com/

the issue here is the subjective dismissal of a club based not on any rule, but taste. i also suspect the club was deleted because it is u.s. based, and religion is overbearing in the states. 

(even though atheists are growing rapidly)

cc has been known to delete clubs for no reason at all. even when people contact support, they get a bunch of blah, blah, blah. i expect op (and the group members) will receive the same runaround.

IMO google will lose this lawsuit.  If so, then chess.com and many other websites will probably state they were forced to close other similar clubs (that have any non-chess topics except the topic of which flavor of bubble gum tastes best, which will be permitted). sad.png

Even if they are a club about video games or what not?

you are completely missing the point of the case, which is stated in the first paragraph of the article. it is about the algorithms yt uses that lead people down a rabbit hole. that is different than cc members deciding which group to join. i don't think it's even apples to oranges, but i bet cc will continue to delete groups based purely on subjectivety and/or mood.

Many thanks to chess.com! I convinced them to re-open the Satan's club: They wrote to me: "... We've noticed a bit of hypocrisy on our end in the way that we handled this. We would allow a Christian or Muslim club to have their private club show a symbol of religion even though this is public. So we are willing to make an exception for the club avatar here for you as well. ... The club was originally taken down for that and for the use of religious imagery in the club picture.  We actually do make special exceptions so that a jewish club can have the star of david, the christian club can have the cross, etc.  So it would be a bit unfair if we didn't let you guys have pentacle/pentacult or if we made the FSM people take away their spaghetti monster... "

All hail Satan!

If This was a Christian Forum, it would be taken down for being Politicial or Religious , but since its about Worshiping Evil, it gets special treatment...

 Yes they re-opened it and it's called free speech! Also for your information there are christian clubs on this website and they're freely active.

About forums, he's right but whether that's the right or wrong thing to do I don't know. Maybe it's like competitive advertising where Pepsi could trash coke but not vice versa.

It’s not like a pentacle is all that horrible? Surprised the club originally was banned for that club avatar.

Congrats you got your club back. But I don’t like the picture of the devil popping up in a child’s room to scare her. Can you change it to devil popping up in Carlsen’s room?

But they have cookies. So it's all good.
