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.
I wonder what could be the sponsor's (Gideon Travel & Tours Ltd, the ad says ) contribution to this "50$ entry fee with based on entries prizes " tournament ? Usually "sponsorship" translates into an above average event with some guaranteed prizes or at least some frills announced beforehand.

I am not sure what happened, but what is on the CFC website, is not exactly what I sent in. Here is the corrected version:
Viktar Chuprys Memorial
Mississauga Chess Club presents the:
3rd annual Viktar Chuprys Memorial
6 Thursdays from 8:00pm-11:00pm from Jan 28, 2010 - March 4, 2010
$200 guaranteed prize fund.
Sponsor: Gideon Travel and Tours Ltd www.gideontravel.com
CFC rated, 6 rounds, 90 min/game
free entry for Mississauga Chess Club members
email: chessking123@hotmail.com
Entry fee for non club members is $ 50. (So why not join the club. Full adult membership is only $35 /year).
Gideon Travel has generously donated $ 100, and the club is matching it. I think a prize fund of $ 200 is generous considering the free entry for club members. The $ 50 entry fee for non members is really just a teaser to sign up new members. :)

Not to be a troll, as I just wrote earlier this week I wouldn't do that, but you do seem to be trying to educate us about sponsorship, a topic that is chess related.
I think David Ottosen proved to us all that you don't know diddley about sponsorship. He educated YOU about that, to the point where you couldn't even respond to his posts:
And he even told you that he was a potential sponsor...talk about committing hari-kari.
Wow, isn't it amazing? Someone mentions sponsorship, buried deep in a thread, and Hebert swoops down like a vulture, looking for scraps, or "frills" as he calls them. What do you want, Jean? You want dancing girls? You want a red carpet, with trumpets blaring, and "Ladies and Gentlemen, here he is, Jean Hebert!" blaring from loudspeakers?
Maybe you should move to Europe... but warning, lots of trouble brewing there. Sovereign debt default and all.
Only the rushing is heard...
Onward flies the bird.
Mississauga Chess Club had offered Viktar Chuprys Memorial Chess Tournament a guaranteed prize fund of $400 plus trophies last year to all members who signed up for an annual membership of $35.This year, a proposal had been approved during the AGM that instead of awarding cash prizes and trophies at the Viktar Chuprys Memorial alone and at the start of the year, it was decided that cash prizes and trophies will be awarded to members who have accumulated the highest Grand Prix points (Top 5 or more - TBD) in all MCC tournaments this year.
The primary reason of the decision to change to GRAND PRIX points rather than of awarding cash and trophies in a single tournament is to encourage member's participation in weekly tournaments and accumulate GP points as much as possible to receive an award until the next AGM.
The $50 entry fee, (i think) includes the annual membership fee of $35, annual parking fee of $10 (U of T – Mississauga) plus the CFC rating/admin fees or basically as a annual fee for joining the club.
Since this is the first time that MCC received a private sponsor, the club matched $ to $ to maintain a guaranteed prize fund of $200 for the Viktar Chuprys Memorial which is advantageous to all members of the club (a possibility to get back an early refund of the annual membership plus an additional and potential GP award at the year end).
The club officers have done an excellent job of attracting young and old chess players to become members of the club. In fact, on the first day of the year the club opened, 54 kids came down to play. I am very proud of their progress and accomplishment year after year. I would like to commend all the MCC officers (especially Bob, Vince and Paul) for a job well done! Kudos!!!
