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.
15. Have fun!

Chess Federation of Canada ... no bio for Agnieszka Matras-Clement???
Where is the biography for Agnieszka Matras-Clement on Chess Federation of Canada's chess dot ca / all-biographies???
Thanks in advance.
Still not to be found ... gee I wonder why.
Refurb and update our national trophies or write a few lines of code to get WIM Agnieszka Matras-Clement's biography up on their chess dot ca website .... which one will get done first?
No biography for WIM Agnieszka Matras-Clement is more a CFC embarrassment so I figure it will get done first.

Clowns.
Maybe you shall open your eyes and be more engage in the CFC? There is a more than a biography of A.M-C on chess.ca
In front of you. ~30 pages of the first class material.
"Agnieszka Matras-Clement
a Sushi-fed conversation about chess in Poland and Alberta, the 2016 Canadian Women’s Zonal, distracting thoughts, and the relative value of love vs a good opening repertoire."
Now it's your turn to become a CFC member and read its newsletters.
Neil, why do you think I am responsible for CFC materials? Are you confusing me with someone else?
I wish people I read would quit quoting this individual.
If he wants to volunteer to write the missing bio I'm sure the people working on our website will take a look at his work. Of course, that isn't what he wants.
I must say that it was a great experience meeting the mayor of Leduc, Bob Young and two other officials from Leduc, Janet Guthrie the Sport Tourism Coordinator and Jessica Farmer the Events and Bookings Coordinator at the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance conference last week. Every spare moment this week has been spent connecting local organizers to the contacts made at this conference.
Vlad, I think that "this individual" and "he" refers to Neil, but I could be wrong.
Everybody knows Drkulec has been bought and paid for ( and where is that missing 60k anyways ) ...filth money from Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. Except those of course he fails to inform.
And it's somewhat amusing to see his lackey's circle the wagons around him.
But enough is enough.
John, you can easily write the code. We both know this to be true ... stand on your own two feet and get this done for WIM Agnieszka Matras-Clement.
You will have our thanks.
