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.
Now, now, Neil. I didn't denigrate "every cat t-shirt on the planet." I used ONE cat t-shirt as an opportunity to ridicule Trump.
I suggested that you read an article by a respected black journalist and you responded with Clarke and King? Hmm.
I see you're yammering about the Dow again. 23,000+ is impressive but if I apply F.A.R.T.* to the Dow's historical closings then we see that Obama gets full credit for increasing the Dow by approx. 71% during his first term. Therefore Trump must get the Dow to approx. 33,740 just to equal Obama's accomplishment. I acknowledge that Trump is off to a good start on the Dow, but he has a long way to go. Don't count your chickens, etc.!
* F.A.R.T. = the Frarey Attentuated Reality Theory whereby a sitting president gets full credit for stuff for which s/he may not even deserve partial credit.
Peter, 100 top hedge fund managers supported Trump with the expectation that his tax policies would result in what you are seeing. I posted this a month before the election http://forum.chesstalk.com/showthrea...f-Donald-Trump showing that Rex Sinquefeld who manages 300 billion(!) in assets supported Trump expecting this result. I would say that Rex et al know a damn sight more then you do about who deserves the credit here.
I am not in love with Trump but I give credit where it's due.

Well well, look who's back ... the creep that denigrates every cat t-shirt on the planet. Just great ...sigh.
And for you and your kind ... clean yourselves up and take some time from denigrating cat t-shirts and listen to:
Sheriff David Clark & Alveda King
Need more refs?
BTW, your DJI 23,000+
MAGA!

Bob's kind are people who have correctly identified Trump as a racist, misogynistic, homophobic asshole. What's preventing you from recognizing that, Neil? You might find a black viewpoint on Trump enlightening: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine...coates/537909/
How's Trump doing on the job front, Neil? If I apply the Frarey Attentuated Realism Theory, in which the sitting president gets full credit for things he only deserves partial (or no...) credit for, then take note that Obama finished his presidency with 75 consecutive months of net.job growth. Do you think Trump will still be president in 2023?

Don't underestimate yourself Bob G.! You & your kind are more than ready, willing & able (despite always blaming a faulty internet connection) to drop a judgment in heart beat!

But I give Trump a perfect score for Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
I hope the White House have some good psychiatrists on staff.

Whoa!! Mr. Frarey has just entered the Canadian Understatement Hall of Fame. Loose cannons everywhere are crying out, "What did we do to deserve this?"
Peter, I believe the Society of Loose Cannons declined Donald's membership application!
Well, I am not a psychiatrist, but...
To me, Trump has become somewhat of a loose cannon.

I don't think it is relevant to try and place Trump anywhere along the traditional left/right political spectrum.
On the ethical, moral, or decency scales, I place him at absolute zero. Everyone else > absolute zero.
In terms of temperature, 0 degrees Kelvin, or minus 273 degrees Celsius.
Or as I have said previously, no redeeming qualities.
But Vlad, as you have pointed out before, he does have remarkable skills as a con man. While his latest attacks on the NFL players and owners have the liberal media in a frenzy, as this article points out, they do unfortunately play right into his tiny hands. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/25/opinio...ngs/index.html
