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.
Was that rewritten? It now looks different than what I had previously read. :) More clear.
Its the same as before (as per the February special meeting) though we have added the articles of continuation (transition) which also mention the different member classes.
Here is my 2 cents as a chess mom. I agree and support Michael’s motion:
'If the winner is unable to participate at WYCC, this fact shall be announced on the public CFC Forum as soon as it becomes known.' We may refine the word or add to NAYCC and PAYCC, but basic idea is clear and reasonable.
Many chess parents have complained lack of communication for 2013 WYCC. I sent 2-3 emails to Youth coordinator and never get replied. It was Mr. Vlad Drkulec diligently replied my questions. I understand everybody is busy, but Youth Coordinator should be more active because of the importance of this role.
Thanks

31 out of 62 CFC Governors have so far signed in to the meeting, that ends Saturday, April 12.
Three motions are being voted on - the major one is the new Constitution necessary to comply with the federal governments new Not-For-Profit Corporations Act.

Technically the motion is for a special resolution allowing and directing the executive to apply to the government for the CFC to continue (transition) to the new act. As old Bill would put it. "To be or not to be. That is the question."
The bylaws were already passed at the special meeting in February and are simply attached as an appendix. There is some more discussion in the CFC public forums. I got a bit cranky there.
With you and Bob G. working together maybe the two of you will be able to solve the mysteries of Climate Change.
I notice Bob A. says only 31 of 62 governors have bothered to sign in. However, you're lucky. You have ME asking innocent questions. :D
I have figured out how to solve all of our financial problems and help the environment at the same time a la Al Gore. We will establish a subsidiary similar to the chess foundation that will be a carbon credit exchange. Apparently there aren't many regulations in this area so there are no barriers to entry. Climate change gurus who are concerned with their carbon footprint will be able to buy carbon credits to pay for their sins.. If we made it a conflict of interest to buy your carbon credits from yourself then we could persuade Al Gore to buy his carbon credits from us instead of from himself I am sure we would easily fund our operations. :) Unfortunately I didn't think of this on April 1st.
