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.
How to form a good argument: repeatedly tell the other side that their arguments are bad/non-existent/not funny/not original, and that yours are good and that you won. It's also a good idea to call the other side weak, while simultaneously accusing them of resorting to name calling. If this fails, you can simply tell them that they're a leftist, and thus unworthy of a response. If you do this, you are an intellectual paragon and cannot lose, no matter how absurd your initial claims are.
Still just copy-catting, with some hyperbole for effect. Lucas, you are still stuck in the paper bag, smelling your own breath. Someday you will argue out of it. Also to remind you, non-existent comes from more than just me, and also Heather Lynn MacDonald. She points out quite succinctly how University students today are delusional in their victimhood. Non-original and non-funny clearly comes from you and your inability to find a real argument or even a funny one.
Mavros, you've lost. Your arguments are redundant and inane; all you can do is repeatedly call me a copy-cat. Just give up your alt-right ideology and accept that you and your people are done for if you do not change your ways.
I didn't waste my time reading your entire angry post. I don't need to justify anything to you. You are a leftist and support this garbage and the degradation of men then fine. I don't.
What garbage am I supporting, Mavros? Go ahead. Copy-paste Sanja's text at the link you provided and then analyze it for us. I don't support the degradation of men. I do support the degradation of you, however.

Leftist mentality is the same over the internet as it is in their hideous demonstrations. Look at it, the whole gang is here. Poor, defenseless Sanja. However will she survive? Last word is yours, leftists. You poor, poor victims.

Calling others victims while lamenting the fact that multiple people oppose your view. An interesting tactic, Mavros, but not one that will save you here. You have lost this argument, as evidenced by the fact that you have prepared to withdraw. Another win for the marketplace of ideas; another loss for the alt-right.
Leftists need to rethink their online bullying tactics.
In an argument on the website chesstalk.com, I got into yet another battle with a group of staunch atheist, self-declared social justice warriors. They are the most angry bunch of hate-spreading people I've ever had the pleasure to banter with. Several are attending university right now, while others are older self-loathing leftist white males.
When their arguments fail them - and let's face it the left is getting out of control with its delusions (as pointed out succinctly by Heather Lynn MacDonald in my last post) - the left attacks. If you are in person with them be very careful. Angry fists appear, threats, and mobs at Universities. Violence is not far off. But online they can also be a terrible bunch that will eat you alive if you are not emotionally prepared for their hatred and personal attacks
Leftist rhetoric literally kills the supposed victims it claims to protect. Actual non-heterosexuals, in this case a bisexual with depression, who dared to speak truth online. People jumped on the moronic "homophobe" train the left has broadened to the point of no meaning through its extremely loose and unsubstantiated use of the term. All this young woman in the clip wanted to do was warn people against sexual diseases that are of much higher likelihood from those who do homosexual male porn. She was bullied to the point of killing herself.
The delusion of the left is reaching an obsession point where the online leftist lynch mob is literally responsible for killing people just for speaking the truth. Their overuse of terms such as "racist", "sexist", and "homophobe", makes them key to this narrative becoming out of control and physically harming people.
The left and its kind need to rethink its name-calling and threats, These terrible things really end up hurting people who are just telling the truth. In their lust to spread the victim mentality, the left has helped create actual victims that can no longer get help.
