Fair and Open Disucssion club. You are inveted to join this Chess.com club!

Welcome!
To a club of open discussion and debates, a place to make personally believed statements or thoughts known, of sharing ideas and knowledge, and a club for coming together and collaborating on ideas. A club to argue in, a club to make friendly or unfriendly acquaintances. A club where a member can ask for help on something and receive loose help tips from other members.

(Note this club is for only members above 18 years of age, come in at your own risk if below 18!) Also, we only accept Chess.com users that have been a member for longer than 3 months.

This is a club where all topics are allowed for discussion. (Excluding Racial and other types of hate speeches and other such discussions, are not allowed to be promoted here.) We do have rules, yet we are fair and transparent in our dealings towards any members who break the club or site wide rules. Admins are supposed to not work on their own terms, all offenses (Excluding hate speech offensives.) are to be delegated with the other Admins through the HQ first. Also, if any comment or OP is to be deleted, the offending commenter shall receive their comment or OP back through PM before it is deleted. We also have an implemented system where the OP (First comment) of a forum topic can add specific rules just for their forum. The OP can go to a thread and copy and paste any of the allowed options. However the OP is not allowed to block other points of view. The OP is allowed to chose such as not allowing videos on their own forum or not allowing memes or gifs as a forum of discussion. However, another forum creator may allow such.

Sexual topics are allowed, however a poster must have (Sexual Topic/Debate.) in the first part of the title of their forum. This is in order to inform members of the explicit content. So if you are not interested in anything sexual, and see the topic is listed as such, please do ignore that post, the rest of the club should be fine. Any forum about any Sexual topic without the informing context in the first part of the topic's title would be deleted, yet the offensive user would receive their entire OP back through PM. So that user does not lose their statement permanently. This applies to all rule offending threads.

We also participate in friendly in house chess tournaments against each other, as well in playing vote chess and 960 matches against other teams.

You are welcomed to join!

We are looking for tough, honest, unbiased (when preforming their duties), Admins. Promoting the club through the forums is not required, yet sending invites is. Also, it is required, that you are active in club activities, forums, and in reporting in F.O.D HQ.

Hey! This is an invitation to join the club Fair and Open Discussion. (F.O.D) Where debates of politics and religion are accepted. A club where the rules are up held fairly and transparently. A club for friendly debates and wild arguments. A place to collaborate on projects or to share songs, jokes, or pictures. For more information, please visit our club main page. F.O.D is a small group at the moment. There isn't much going on . It is optionally asked if you would please suggest the club to users you think might be interested in joining.
