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.
All room bookings for the CO and CYCC must be completed before June 10, but try to book as soon as possible because they might run out of rooms for us before that. The entry fee is also going up on June 10 for the CYCC, and on July 1st for the CO.
I am probably missing something...how do you register online for CYCC...I see where you can buy a membership...but where do you actually register for the tournament?
I have been recommending that people use a computer rather than a cell phone to register as a few of the Windsor parents have found it impossible to navigate to the correct page using a phone.
We received 60 registrations during the weekend. Both lists are now up to date. The CYCC registrations now show more information. Please make sure you child is a CFC member at the start of the tournament (see the last field of the table).
Remember ! Tomorrow is the last day before the prices go up !
Re: Re : Re: CO and CYCC deadline and registrations
Hi Roman, a couple days ago I filled out the registration form on the website. Everything was paid for via paypal, and I've been able to book a room as well. However, I don't see my name on the pre-registered list. Just thought I'd let you know, because I don't want to have to pay an extra $25.
Re : Re: Re : Re: CO and CYCC deadline and registrations
Hi Zach,
For some reason I had not received the paypal confirmation email. I checked manually and we did receive the payment, so I updated the list. Your name should now appear on it.
Hi, do I need to confirm that child would like to participate in CO if he registered for CYCC?
Yes and you have until June 10 to do so (tomorrow). Not all CYCC participants take advantage of the free entry to the CO, so it's important to tell us. You can send an email to Roman's address, which is in the first post.
We were hoping for 600 players in total. Perhaps we should now aim for 800? :)
Some people might also have noticed that we invited the top two U14 players in the world. IM Samuel Sevian (1st U14 in the World), quite possibly one of the most promising player the USA had since Bobby Fischer, will be giving a simul at the CYCC. Other confirmed players for the simuls include GM Kovalyov, WGM Sulennis, WIM Fleites Marti and IM Ruiz Sanchez.
Re : Re: Re : Re: CO and CYCC deadline and registrations
Reminder : register for the Canadian Open before July 1st to save $20 on the registration fees.
Also, please make sure to pay for your membership (if due) before the tournament.
Re: Re : Re: Re : Re: CO and CYCC deadline and registrations
So far 23 kids from Windsor registered if I haven't missed anyone. There appear to be a few who have said they will be playing and who have qualified who have not registered yet.
