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.
Half point byes are available for rounds 1 to 4.
Maximum of 2 half point byes.
Half point byes must be requested at least 1 hour prior to posted game start.
If you are unable to play round 5, you get a zero point bye. It will not be treated as a withdrawal and you are eligible for any prizes.
We are up to 53 preregistered, please keep them coming.

Many thanks to all the participants who played in our tournament. Thnx to TDs Garvin Nunes and Bob Gillanders for smooth runnings on game day and thnx to Bob Gillanders again for handling all the behind the scenes stuff that made this tournament possible. I am thinking to have another tourney sometime March or April next year so stay tuned. Strength and honour, play well.
Ooops...Was trying to insert a graphic (game from the tournament). Not working and its making me post something. Sorry! Anyway.. Here's the game. I stalemated it!
Is there a tournament report in one of the above posts (I'm trying to avoid having to scroll through them all)? Or is there some link to where the final results are posted?

HI Bob,
The results are posted in FB under the Tim Horton Miississauga Chess Club.

Well Bob, I did plan on writing up a tournament report, not just the results, but a few antidotes as well, but I'm just too lazy to get off my ass and do it. :( So thanks to Erwin and friends for the Facebook posting, thanks to Ralph and James for the pictures, and thanks to CFC newsfeed for their post, I did post the winners in an earlier post.
Complete results can be found on the CFC website, it is rated now. So thanks everyone for coming. Thanks to Gord and Garvin for their efforts, and thanks to all my opponents for some great chess. :)
