General Guidelines
---- Nous avons besoin d'un traduction français!
Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
Add three more to your list: Mario Piccinin, Mate Milinkovic, and Ralph Deline. I'll remind the club members on Tuesday and maybe we can find a couple more.

Hey did someone say blitz? Im up for that. maybe a blitz tourney after? Yeah!
Just a gentle reminder for everyone who has a standard tournament chess set and chess clock, please bring them. Also, can you please get there earlier for registration rather than later for the timely start of the tournament. Also, I'm just also interested in a speed/blitz tourney after. I love blitz, the fast and the furious, yeehah! Thank you for all who have registered already. We hope to make this an annual event. Also consider the next tourney we are having in November this year at this same venue.

45 players registered including Gord and myself as floaters.
Looks like we finally have enough to populate the 3 sections as advertised.
Any last minute holdouts, please register by midnight to avoid the late fee.
Great tournament marketing!! Congrads to the organizers for this nice touch.
Bob A
I would like to thank Mr. Bob Gillanders for his hard work in advertising, promoting and tournament directing. In part, it would not have happened without him. He is a great credit to any chess club/organization. Great stuff Mr. Preotu for putting up this crosstable and I hope to see you and Razvan in November at our next tourney. To all the competitors, you are the other part of this tournament that made it possible. Thank you for coming and we hope to do it again next year. If you have good memories about this tournament please feel free to tell others. If you have not so good thoughts about the tournament, please feel free to tell us. :) Keep on enjoying the beautiful enigma of chess!

Thank you Gord and Rene. Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone for participating. We were concerned about a low turnout, but were pleasantly surprised with the final count of 50. Pretty good for an active!
