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!

(Thanks to Nigel Hanrahan for writing these up!)

chess ratings update?

Wednesday, 16th December, 2009, 03:35 PM

I'm sure this has been discussed many times before, but is there a certain time when ratings are updated? It seems like every time I check on Wednesday there is no update. If the time is really late in the day it should be advertised as Thursday for the updates, no? Maybe it's just me. Anyway I was just wondering..

What if it IS advertised as Thursday and they actually ARE posted late on Wednesday? Would you then complain that they were posted early? I realize some people are obsessed with their rating, but seriously...

Re: chess ratings update?

I think Wednesday means Wednesday - whether that be 12:00 AM or 11:59 PM. They have a 24 hr. window in which to do it - allows them to make the deadline, even if things may be chaotic on a Wednesday and they have to do it late.

And they seem excellent at getting it done on Wednesday - I can't remember them recently being late.

We may have been better off in the good old days when the magazine came out every two months.

Explain that comment please. It seems to be a non-sequitur and I am confused why it was made or even what it is all about.

Duh, a little while later, I just got the sarcasm! I am a little slow tonight.

Yes, Mr.Bertrand, accuracy IS important re. timelines , especially at a chessboard, and so, if niggling, your question is valid .And you are improving,when most are not.. So ignore the peanut gallery below; they're most likely honorary/life CFC members, and so dont pay fees. You do, so go ahead and ask what you will. You may do this at chess.ca as well, though only your own echoes may be the only response. Another satisfied customer! Make sure you tell your friends about this wonderful experience. Seriously, though, good luck in your game vs GM Shirov; just don't let the patzers in the background, whom seem to have nothing better to do but chirp at you, affect your game. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!

Daryl, when I was ED, the cutoff time to submit tournaments was noon on wednesday. We often had submissions near the deadline. Updates were usually done between 1pm and 3pm. But occasionally you would encounter a problem with a crosstable and/or a computer glitz, or accept one past the deadline, and occasionally the update would be in the early evening. Most players and TD's will not check ratings until the evening anyway. A strict exact time for the update is really not practical. You will encounter less frustration if you just wait until after dinner before checking it. Savour the anticipation!:)

We should thank Gerry for the great job he has done by continuing the weekly updates without fail. If the update is done late in the evening, that just meant that he stayed late to get it done. So, I wouldn't complain.

Well done Gerry!:)

Re: chess ratings update?

I just checked the ratings (very early Thursday morning), and I do not readily see the results of the recent RA Autumn Frost? I assume that if Gerry had the input for that event, that he would have processed it? Does anyone know if the input was provided?

Eric started as TD, and Halldor covered for him a few times, so who was going to submit?

Thanks and regards.

Re: chess ratings update?

Just as a brief sideline, congrats to you Mr.Marghetis for your newly earned FIDE title of FA. Some consolation for all your hard work? And to Mr. Bond, whom seems to be be the only one capable of covering Canada's butt, internationally. Hal, maybe you should move to mainstream politics to better contribute? U'd have my vote:)

Hi David, thank you for the congrats! I do feel good about the FA, and it really is great for me to "get away" for the weekend every couple of months, and just "do chess"! :)

By the way, you mention Hal, and as an example of how great he is for Canadian chess, I can tell you that there's no way I could have made FA without his help. He is the man!

All the best, Aris.

For anyone interested from the RA club, I spoke with both Eric and Halldor yesterday, and Eric will be submitting the ratings input for the RA Autumn Frost. I believe that he is targetting making next week's Wednesday deadline, but might have mis-heard that part.

As far as I can see, neither the Autumn Frost nor the National Capital Open have yet shown up in the ratings.

Hi Gordon, when I type "Ritchie" at the CFC ratings webpage, then click "Gordon", the first event in your list is "2009 National Capital Open U2000". Are we at the same spot?

I am also getting links posted at the EOCA tournaments webpage. I just sent the email request, and it should be done by tomorrow. Please advise if you still cannot see them.
