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.
Grigory Yavlinsky - FIDE Congress delegates and the international chess community

"Ilyumzhinov at FIDE office - desecration of the principles and ideals of chess"
Russian politician, founder of the party "Yabloko" Grigory Yavlinsky, addressed an open letter that publishes a site kasparov2014.com:
Delegates Congress FIDE world chess community to
Dear fans of ancient noble game!
Let me in connection with the forthcoming FIDE Congress in August to draw your attention to the statement of the Russian
United Democratic Party "Yabloko", founder and political leader that I am.
Mockery of the principles and ideals of high art is your tenure as FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, responsible for the brutal assassination of the Chairman of the Kalmyk Branch of our party Larisa Yudina.
Larisa Yudina talented journalist, a courageous woman whom I had the honor to know personally led a principled struggle with authoritarian and corrupt regime of President Ilyumzhinov of Kalmykia and paid for it with his life.
We, her colleagues will never forget and will not forgive the crime that has no statute of limitations.
Grigory Yavlinsky

Wikipedia:
Larisa Yudina - journalist, chief editor of "Sovetskaya Kalmykia," and then "Soviet Kalmykia Today", politician, co-chairman of the regional branch of the Kalmyk "Apple". Was killed June 7, 1998 in Elista. Two of the men involved in the murder and then convicted, were assistants Ilyumzhinov.
Presidential Decree 10 September 2000 "for their courage and selflessness in the performance of professional duties" was posthumously awarded the "Order of Courage."
There is an old saying "The country is at war and the old woman combs her hair". This is what the chess (international) community does. The world is on the edge of military explosion, innocent people die in Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, etc and we keep posting polls in which the same people vote. Or apply "the letter of the law" to bar Russian women's team (by the way, a very nice team) to participate based on technicalities. "Gens una Sumus", right?
The poll is worthless. It is for members. There are at least 5 who voted and have expired or no membership in the CFC according to their CFC rating card.

Yes, lets forbid all the laws, regulations, agreements and have one man's say who's eligible to play and who is not.
I shall not cast a vote, but if I were to do so I would certainly consider as part of my assessment of the candidates the person they chose to represent them in Canada.

Very interesting! Robert Hamilton is a spokesperson for the GK's campaign. And who in your opinion is a spokesperson for the KI's campaign?

The laws and regulations say that that one man does have that right. The only right the Tromso organizers have is to apply a 100 euro late fee to federations who were late registering.

Is this the same man who's close aides and child hood friend were convicted of murdering his political opponent? The man who held the world chess championship knockout tournament in Gadaffi controlled Libya that denied Jews and Israelis access?
The same man who is is close friends with Putin? I've heard of systems before where one man has the right to do anything. If I recall it did not end well.
