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.
It's about you and your manipulation of a young man inflicted with autism.
I'm starting to wonder if English is your first language. Your use of it is cumbersome and laboured and somewhat comical. I can't imagine that you are intentionally giving the impression that you are without shaving off a few IQ points off my evaluation of your abilities.
The only person being manipulated here is you.
And you know this well, don't you Drkulec! Doesn't give you license to abuse those who are inflicted with autism ...or any other infliction for that matter!
Mentioning their feats of memory does not equate to abuse.
BTW, sorry to see folks like Nigel failing to step up for those who have been manipulated by Drkulec.
That would be you. If a certain blue eyed blonde professor at Carnegie Mellon was still in the picture she would probably upbraid me for picking on you like she did when I went at it with the rocket scientist.
I guess I read you all wrong Nige. You much rather side with an abusive manipulative belittling person.
If that were so, he would be siding with you. Don't hate me because I am better at it than you. Unlike yourself, its not the first arrow that I pull out of my quiver. I have training. It has worked against famous people and geniuses. I am dialed down to two because if I even dialed it up to three or four you would start bleeding from the eyes.
Sid mentioned that you ran for public office ...and lost.
Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved.
I'm really thankful you didn't get elected!
They read you right ...didn't they.
Is that your version of a killshot? The man got up off his rear and represented a party and didn't ask the electorate to signal in advance that they were open to the idea. My suspicion is that unlike you he didn't expect to win but wanted to stand up for what he believed in and signify that he was willing to sign the nomination papers and argue and debate his cause.
Where are your nomination papers, Neil? What do you stand up for aside from petty snitching to the zoning authorities when people get so tired of your insipid loneliness and have to ask you to stop coming around because they have to attend to their work during working hours? Do your rap/hip hop buddies know that you are a rat? What would they say if they knew? Are you manipulating them when you mention them?

It's too bad rough stuff started up. I was hoping to see example(s) of how data mining might specifically be of use to the CFC in the (near) future.
Today I had a haircut. It turned out that my middle-aged barber played chess in her high-school chess club, and loves the game. I mentioned the RA club in Ottawa, which she hadn't heard of - nothing in any newspapers, even free ones. I told her chess organizers count on people Googling keywords "Chess Canada" and finding the CFC website (and thus any clubs, if they can navigate the site and understand it). She'd never thought of the idea. I mentioned that some organizers theorize that girls don't like to be the only girl in a group activity of largely boys. She said she wouldn't have cared. I told her shoot-'em up video games are often thought to be played overwhelmingly just by boys. She laughed that one off, too. The RA club perhaps might get a new visitor, through infrequent word of mouth, as may often be the case.
In one person we have a mature adult, and a female, two groups the CFC has been desiring to have better represented in their membership levels for years.
Inadequate sustained advertising (even the free type) by organized chess in Canada.
What I've said for years.

Reason: Spelling

Neil strikes me as someone who reads the buzzwords of the day and has to regurgitate them like the autistic young man repeated the baseball sports broadcast in my doctor's waiting room some thirty years ago in an almost perfect recreation of the original. Neil's version is not quite so impressive or memorable.
Drkulec ... I sent your comment(s) over to Autism Canada, pointed them to this thread ...follow up call tomorrow.

Like I said, "Rat." Tell them to spell my name right.
I apologize to the autistic community for mentioning this remarkable young man in the same sentence as that sorry excuse for a human being: Neil Frarey. There, are you happy?
This is the equivalent of Neil running home and telling his mommy on me.
This could be entertaining.
I guess I need to dial it down to one. Two is too tough for Neil.

It's out of my hands now Drkulec.
And no, I'm not happy.

We know you're not happy. As long as you need to be validated by externalities you will never be happy and you will never be in control of your destiny.
Vlad, who whizzed in your corn flakes this morning? Did you just wake up and decide that today you were going to slag someone to feel better? Why don't you just tweet it like other presidents? Personal attacks are the choice of persons who can't defend their ideas.

Good response, Garland, but in Vlad's case it's deeper than not defending his ideas (if he has such things). Vlad reminds me first of all of Trump himself: always narcissistic, always needing confirmation to the point of inventing it. Secondly, he reminds me of Dr. Frasier Crane of the turn-of-the-century TV sitcom Frasier. Very haughty in his opinion of himself, often quoting others of much higher status and fame, and yet so inadequate in dealing with the vagarities of life that he must daily make a laughingstock of himself.
But let us not forget: Vlad is filled with hate. Ben Daswani succeeded in exposing that side of him. Thus his totally unnecessary, and inappropriate for a CFC President, slagging of Neil.
Only the rushing is heard...
Onward flies the bird.

??? You seem a little selective about your outrage when it comes to your drinking buddy Neil. His personal attacks are perfectly fine. When I respond its world war three. I had him in the ignore file for quite a long time but since Kevin Pacey who I do read kept quoting him I decided to respond to him.
My idea is that Neil is not someone who anyone of substance would listen to or take seriously. This same statement is true for all the trolls of chesstalk. Lets discuss.

Garland is not selective about what you incorrectly perceived as 'outrage' (another one of your exaggerations) ...believe me Drkulec ...the man stands firm on his own two feet. And we aren't drinking buddies either.
But hey, I'm not surprise to read that you interpret Garland's comment as a form of dissension among the ranks ...sigh.
Stop your hustle Drkulec. Start respecting others ...especially those with an infliction such as autism.
