No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Kind of also something that changed with the advent of the internet.
Chess was popular for most of its history as a game where you basically only got better by playing and genuinely trying to work out better strategies. At best, you had some chess club or a book at hand.
Now, you could spend every day just reading up on different strategies and counters, and there'd still be someone more serious about it.
I guess, on the flipside, that makes it easier to not take it as serious anymore and we have ELO-based match-up systems now as well, so you'll more easily find someone on your level.
I don't know, they look a little mismatched what with all the different instruments.
