Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

If you like to play chess, check out www.lichess.org
It's free and open source, and it's very easy to find a game there, no matter what level you play.
It doesn't display annoying ads.
Japanese chess is excellent too. Http://lishogi.org
It always makes me sad that chess.com was the site that blew up. I always had to convince my friends to use lichess when I played back in school.
All of the games ever played on lichess along with puzzles, evaluations etc are also open and free to download at database.lichess.org
The site's founder and lead developer Thibault also often streams the development of the site on his Twitch channel!
I'm honestly suprised sometimes at how free, open and transparent this site is, truly an inspiration for anyone looking to build an ethical platform.
