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.
Are you really touting job reports as something great Trump did ? It's a lagging indicator and Obama
added something like 10 million jobs since the financial crash. Ontario actually has stronger results then the
US this year.
At best these results are neutral for Trump. But like everything these days, he desperately hangs onto every
supposed win to try to deflect from his failures. And you apparently are hanging on his words.
Really? Ontario has added more jobs than Trump's 1.1 million jobs in the last seven months?
Under Trump, lowest unemployment since 2001! Barack who?
Isn't fair to compare Trump vs Obama in their respective first seven months in office, so I won't go there. But if he can keep up an average of about 200k jobs per month, 19+ million new jobs will have been created by the end of his two terms. Yuuuge! Simply Yuuuge!
Again ...Barack who?

Unemployment rate also dipped from 4.4 percent to 4.3 percent.
Average hourly earnings increased by 9 cents.
Hope you guys don't break your ankles jumping off the Dem's bandwagon!

'Trump - New Thread' has been captured by pirates. 'Trump - The NEW, New Thread' will now be the place where ChessTalkers can engage in civil discourse about Trump. : /
209,000 new jobs in July 2017

You continue to edit your post and it's been days. You are an Internet-obsessed freak. Get a life.
That's not a real quote. You know how I know? Because I wouldn't mix up "then" and "than." If you want to quote me, then quote me. Don't make some stuff up to the best of your apparently shitty recollection, but actually quote me.
Fair enough, the quote was on page 18 of this thread and I thought I actually had cut and paste it. I noticed also that it looked incorrect and was surprised as I know you pride yourself in your writing.

Yes, I do get quite mad at the trolling done by the troll Ben Daswani. Fortunately, I have the troll's posts blocked, so I cannot see him post. However, sometimes others quote the troll Ben Daswani in their own posts, so I am subjected to his trolling first hand. Since some of the five people who post in this thread may be unaware – or perhaps have simply forgotten – that he is in fact a troll, I make sure to remind them in every post that I make, for it is imperative that EVERYBODY be CONSTANTLY AWARE how much of a troll he really is.

Ben Daswani is a SAD TROLL. I BLOCKED HIS POSTS, but he is an INTERNET TROLL (I have a lot of experience with internet trolls), so I need to let everyone know in every post I make that is a TROLL. I BLOCKED HIS POSTS, but I still mention him in EVERY POST THAT I MAKE, because he is a TROLL, so I need to let everyone know that he is a TROLL, and that I BLOCKED HIS POSTS. Even though I blocked his posts, I'll still respond to things he says when others quote him (I can only see his posts when others quote him, because I blocked his posts), because I need to let everyone know that he is just a TROLL, and everyone should ignore him, because he is only a TROLL.
Jeff Flake, a Republican, is also speaking out against Trump.
John McCain shot down the Republican Skinny Repeal Obamacare bill.
The Mooch is gone. (aka. Trump mini-me).
Trump polls are starting to slip.
The investigations continue.
Excellent.
Au contraire, with General Kelly now in charge (The Mooch gone in a New York minute!) no more grand standing.
Lowest unemployment rate since 2001! Over 4 TRILLION in value added to the markets!
America is being made great again ... right before your eyes!
Hi Bob. The tide may finally have turned. When a prominent Republican like Graham speaks out so explicitly against Trump you can bet there's a lot more going on behind the scenes.
