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.
To Register provide: 1. Valid CFC number. 2. Name as seen on membership search on CFC website, and 3. payment by e-transfer using contact email or paypal. Registration is not completed until all three items are received.
On site registration, 9-9:30am sharp, cash only
Pre reg list is post #5.

And we are off with our first non me registratnt for the Milton Open Spring Active on May 04. Remember that the entry fee jumps up if received after April 20.
Hi all, just a friendly bump. Please make sure your cfc membership is in good standing before the tournament. Time is ticking down to entry fee increase on April 20. Play well.
Hey all, who likes pizza? Or I guess it is more accurate to say who likes free pizza for lunch? Let's just say for this tourney there may be free pizza for some of the players. Update soon so stay tuned!
just finalized it. The first 20 paid registered players gets a complimentary pizza and pop lunch. Two slices of pepperoni and a can of pop. There will be some pizza for sale on site at lunch. You know what this means, there is such a thing as a free lunch! Bon appetit!
I posted the previous message about ten minutes ago, as of right now, there are only 15 free pizza lunch offers left. Just saying. Please dont forget, the entry fee goes up after April 20.

Only 3 free pizza and pop lunch offers left. Who doesnt want a free lunch? I am trying to also get more pizza on site for sale so stay tuned. April 20th deadline, the entry fee goes up to $50. Your move.
We are at 21 registered players now. Hope they like pepperoni pizza for their lunch. April 20 looms near. $40 entry until April 20, after that it goes up to $50 until May 02, then it goes up to $60.
