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.
15. Have fun!

Inkpad Rubber Stamps Chess Pieces set for recording positions
Inkpad Rubber Stamps Chess Pieces set for recording positions
Hi I'm an older guy who has recently taken up chess and joined the Annex Chess Club in Toronto. I want to make flashcards to drill positions, and for personal reasons i don't want to use a computer for this. I have recently learned that until the late nineties one could buy rubber stamps that came in a set with with a rubber stamp for a board, which correspondence chess people used to send positions to each other,, or for some other purpose. To record positions.
USCF, I'm told, used to sell these, but they don't have them anymore. Also, none of the big chess retailers in Germany or Holland have them. ebay doens't have them, and there is no record of anyone on ebay ever selling such a set.
I'm hoping someone has an old set they don't want anymore, or knows of someone who has an old set they don't want anymore; it would be a real help to me.
The sets were thirteen rubber stamps. 6 for White And Black so that you'd have a dedicated set for red ink and black ink to prevent ink bleed through, and a 13th stamp for the board.
i've posted on chess.com, and everybody on there who knows what I'm talking about and ever had a set has long ago thrown them out.
Please contact arnolowi@yahoo.com. I'm in Toronto. Thanks.

Re: Inkpad Rubber Stamps Chess Pieces set for recording positions
I have been to the stampfrancisco site several times, and don't see the set. They do have one rubber stamp that is just a picture of a still life with chess pieces, not individual stamps of the pieces, and they have another stamp that has an assortment of game images on it including a few ornamental chess pieces. Neither of them will work for recording positions. If you can find a set like the one I"m talking about on stamfrancisco please include the link. Thanks.

Larry! I know strategy games well! I've shopped there quite a bit. If you guys can find a set like that it would be sooo awesome.Sometimes your staff find things in the basement, or the stockroom, on miscellaneous shelves... I hope Francis can help me. I'll call tomorrow. Thanks!! p.s. chess nMath online store does NOT list them. Arno
