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.
You "Segway" (sic) into it many times yourself, every time you bring up Israel as if we all care more about that nation than we do about our own.
As far as bringing up what nationalism did to the Jews in WWII, it is very relevant since that very nationalism (minus the military component) is being trumpeted by Trump like no one has done since WWII. And in support of his nationalism, he and the Repugs are all working to send as many visible minorities as they can out of the country, on the ridiculous notion that they are "taking away" jobs from Americans. The truth is, they do the jobs Americans won't do such as picking agricultural crops.
Your reaction only shows how badly you take losing a debate, because it is quite obvious that I didn't say anything negative against your ethnic heritage and you don't set the rules about whether such ethnic heritage can be mentioned at all. I mention it because it's relevant, showing that you are one of those who are doomed to repeat history, having learned nothing from it.
Let's see, yesterday you wrote about how great your money managers are and also wrote that "inflation is irrelevant" which I suppose those experts are telling you. Today the Dow drops over 800 points on what? Interest rate worries, that are tied to inflation! So yeah, I can see how embarrassed you must be feeling right now, and you use the scapegoat of me mentioning the nationalism that led to WWII.
Get a backbone and some common sense. The sooner you turn against Trump and his policies, the better it will be for you.

I will be the judge of that creep. I certainly would not take advice from a loser moron like yourself. All of Trump's grand children are Jewish and Israel considers Trump the greatest ally and friend they have ever had. His actions speak far louder then the hollow words of his lame duck predecessor who's final antiIsrael act during the final weeks of his presidency fed Israel on Dec 23 2016 to the jaws of the antisemetic, antiIsrael UN .

More evidence that you are a moron that can't read, If you read my posts I specifically said that Inflation would be kept under control by modest interest rate hikes.(in other words was fully expected)
How relevant a point drop is in the Dow is judged by the percentage drop not the point magnitude. 800 points is about a 3.2% drop which is more or less within the norms of market volatility, the 1987 crash was something on the order of a 22%+ drop.
This drop is well within the norms as over 10 Trillion dollars in market cap has been created since Trump was elected or over a 33% gain since he got elected when the Dow was around 18000 compared to 25000+ today. Of course this is too much for a moron that can't read like yourself to comprehend.
Go crawl under the rock from where you came you idiotic creep!

LOL typical Repug garbage. "Well within the norms" is like saying as the Titanic sinks that the tilt of the deck off the horizontal axis is well within the norms.
You do know about the theory pertaining to U.S. budget deficits, don't you Sid? The theory says that when the economy improves, deficits get PAID DOWN.
The only time in recent memory it came close to happening was during Bill Clinton's presidency, when there was actually a budget surplus.
But we've had 10 years of Repug administrations since year 2000 and every one of those years the U.S. budget deficit has RISEN. That is despite the Dubya tax cuts and now the Trump tax cuts, all of which were designed to grow the economy to the point where increased tax revenues would more than offset spending... meaning the eventual realization of budget surpluses. Ha ha ha ha!!!!!
You see why I mock the experts that you so blindly rely on in your headlong rush to the cliff with the rest of the herd.
"The White House has steadfastly defended its policies, arguing that the yawning gap is a reason to cut deeper into social programs to balance out increases to the military budget."
So starve the masses so that we can continue to pay for an 18-year-and-still-going war in Afghanistan.
Only the rushing is heard...
Onward flies the bird.
