I think it is time we establish some ground rules for the 'Will to WIN' group. I have made a rough copy of what our ground rules MAY look like:

Dear Teammates,

In order to promote an environment that is as rewarding, and as just, as can be for all of our members, we, Will to WIN, adopt the following 'ground-rules'. These 'ground-rules' shall act as the guideline which governs our participation in the group; and shall apply to all without favour.

Thank you.

Will to WIN GROUND-RULES

1. TEAM MATCHES -

a) Play tough and fair to the end. Take vacation if you can before needlessly timing out, or easily giving up, games.

b) Don't join a team match and resign; when you resign it affects the whole team!

2. VOTE CHESS -

a) Play as a team.

b) Read the previous post. Post your ideas for team evaluation if you differ. This reduces the chances of inferior moves winning the vote!

3. BEHAVIOUR -

a) We don't suffer spammers, posting inappropriate links, and disrespect of ones teammates or others, etc. (Essentially the same as chess.com public forum rules.)

4. ATTITUDE -

a) We will not discount other people's ideas.

b) We will be supportive rather then judgemental

c) Respect each and every person.

d) criticize only ideas, not people

4. MEMBERSHIP -

a) By joining Will to WIN, and retaining membership, you agree to accept these ground-rules.

Anyone found guilty of breaking these rules will be warned/banned at the admins discretion.

What do you think?
