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!

(Thanks to Nigel Hanrahan for writing these up!)

probably dead- like most things chess-related in Canada. not a big deal though since it would probably be detrimental to my chess.

on the bright side I'll be trying to qualify for Tata Steel B next month :)

Eric,
You can hardly say chess is dead in Canada if someone offers to reach into their pocket for $10,000 to sponsor a match for you to play! Can someone in Europe offer you a better deal?
But good luck in joining Tata Steel B tournament.

Hi Vlad,

Europe has offered me many good deals- totaling well over $10,000 out of pocket. I've yet to see a single email about this match so you are saying I should already be giving praise? If you have some insider info please feel free to share with all of us.

Besides- a match for two players has little to do with the status of chess here.

Hi Eric,
Clearly, there is some misunderstanding. I only know what I've read on ChessTalk pertaining to the proposed match. And I seem to recall you responded favorably while there was no response from Bator.
My post was pertaining to your comment - "probably dead- like most things chess-related in Canada" - and I took that to mean that there was insufficient incentive for top-level players in Canada, hence my post.
I hope you don't take my comments as a personal attack, else this could spiral into something which would bring out some hefty sponsorship for you to play a match against me LOL. I would only agree if it was limited to 3 pawn chess :D

One offer that never came to fruition does not a "non-dead" chess scene make.

Awesome use of a triple-negative! Cheers.

Imagine if there were NO offers that never came to fruition! :D

Eric, have you checked your spam filters? I have no insider information. I know nothing more than what is posted here on chesstalk. But I would like to know what happened. If someone offered to sponsor a match with me for $10,000, I would send THEM an email.

Let me repeat that:

If anyone would like to sponsor $10,000 a match against me. :)

I can't do it in Canadian dollars, Bob, how about North Korean won? I might even stretch to 100,000 Iranian rials.

Excellent. Let the negotiations begin.

Hmm….10,000 North Korean Won = $15 Cdn
Hmm….100,000 Iranian Rials = $4.40 Cdn

Hmm…..let’s go with the Won. After all, that is 10 Tim Horton small coffees.
John, how about adding some TimBits?

You have not seen the bridge-playing community. I recently received an email from them saying that they recruited several hundred new members, but the overall member count stayed roughly the same because roughly the same amount of members have died. They were also sending frantic emails that the average age of bridge players in the NABC was rapidly approaching 75. It is dead, literally.

If you were looking for a "livelier" Canadian games community, why not follow the footsteps of GM Ian Nepomiachtchi? There are several Canadian players who are considered the "world elite" in that game...
