Subreddit Rules
- Keep the discussion civil and friendly.: Submissions and comments should be made in good faith with the intention to help foster civil discussion between people of all levels and experience. Don’t make fun of new players for lacking knowledge. Do not use personal attacks, insults, or slurs on other users. Disagreements are bound to happen, but do so in a civilized and mature manner. Remember, there is always a respectful way to disagree.
- Don't engage in discriminatory or bigoted behavior.: Chess is played in all countries by people of all backgrounds. Be respectful, and do not engage in racist, sexist, or otherwise discriminatory behavior.
- Low-Quality submissions are not allowed.: When posting a submission, effort should be made to promote interesting discussion on chess, its history, or culture. Some types of content that may be considered low quality include:
- Jokes (/r/anarchychess)
- Unanalyzed games
- Non-historical chess set pics (/r/chessporn)
- Video clips with no context (include names of participants in title)
- Rating graphs or achievements
- Subreddit FAQ questions (r/chessbeginners)
- Clickbait titles
- Submissions made with low effort
- Off-Topic submissions are not allowed.: Submissions that promote discussion about non-chess topics are not allowed. This includes but is not limited to:
- Video or images not directly related to chess (even if they involve chess players) * Discussion of non-chess events that happen on a chess site * Spam
- Do not politicize r/Chess.: r/Chess is not a political sub. The mod team of /r/Chess is not equipped to mod political debates and disputes, there are other subs for politics.
- Submissions and comments touching on political subjects must directly connect to FIDE, national chess federations, chess organizations or prominent players experiencing a chess-specific issue. Submissions and comments must deal directly with chess politics, not broader political issues.
- Chess-related political threads may be locked if allowed.
- Do not use /r/chess primarily to promote your own content.: Users are expected to interact with the community at large, not just their own content. Limited self-promotion is allowed based upon Reddit’s 10% guideline (please read Reddit’s policies on self-promotion here), but do not use the sub as your blog. Accounts with no history of participation in the r/chess community will not be allowed to self-promote. If you wish to self-promote, and are unsure about the rules, please send in a message via modmail.
- Unfounded or non-newsworthy cheating accusations are not allowed.: Cheating accusations must be:
- Clearly stated * Credible * Substantiated * Made by a prominent member or organization of the chess community * Part of ongoing public discussion
- The r/Chess moderation team will use their discretion to evaluate the credibility of organizations and/or individuals, taking into account the sentiment from the community.
- Cheating, and facilitating others to cheat, is unacceptable.: Submissions or comments asking how to cheat or telling others how to cheat, or that elaborate on how you cheated, are not allowed. Likewise, receiving feedback on an active game is also cheating, so please wait until your game is finished before posting about it.
- Social media submissions must be accurate and verifiable.: Social media submissions must include:
- \[ The author’s first and last name in brackets at the start of the post \] * A direct link (preferably to the primary source of the content)
- Editorialized titles are not allowed.
- Match / tournament result submissions require a certain level of quality.: All result submissions require:
- Informative, descriptive, and factual titles. * A link to the results of the match or tournament, preferably a link to the primary source’s official results.
- Additionally, live rating submissions are not allowed while the player(s) in question are actively in a tournament because they quickly become outdated. Please wait until the tournament is over before making posts about players' ratings.
