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

* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions

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.
22. If a player accidentally displaces one or more pieces, he/she shall replace them on his/her own time. If necessary, the player's opponent may start the player's clock without making a move in order to make sure that the player replaces the displaced pieces on his/her own time.
I thought that one had to stop the clock and make the claim to the arbiter and would be dealt with accordingly
Yeah, this seems to be a problem. Of course, we should all know that if we knock over a piece, or displace a piece off its correct square, then we have to re-set the pieces to their correct positions before we can press the clock. Sometimes, especially in speed chess, a piece gets knocked over when we're making our move with another piece, and it may not have actually fallen over before we hit the clock. In such cases the player may quickly set that piece upright on his opponent's time, and no one raises a fuss. But since you've done this on your opponent's time it is at least distracting if not illegal. The point I would make, and this also applies to cases where you complete a move that leaves your king in check, is that time has been stolen from me. It must be returned and a penalty imposed.
So if we follow this rule 22 that you quote, we will see the other player fixing the pieces on his time, but we don't see him returning the time he took from you, even if it was only a second or two. Also, the very act of starting your opponent's clock without making a move is off-putting for both players. The player who has to do this to remind his opponent of his obligation to set the pieces aright can reasonably say, "Your bad behaviour has upset me and taken some time from my clock and so you should be penalized." I think most arbiters would give you two added minutes.

Where did you find this rule?
FIDE rules:
"7.4
If a player displaces one or more pieces, he shall re-establish the correct position in his own time. If necessary, either the player or his opponent shall stop the chessclock and ask for the arbiter’s assistance. The arbiter may penalise the player who displaced the pieces. "
