General Guidelines

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:

* 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.

This one is terrible. Do you understand this translation?
It is interdict to leave its own king in failure, to expose its own king to a failure and to capture the king of the adversary
Or this one
The nature and objectives of the play d' failures
The play d' failures is played between two adversaries which in turn move parts on a square plate called chess-board. The player having the white parts begins the part. A player refers when its adversary carried out its blow.
L' objective of each player is to put the unfavourable king under attack in such a way that l' adversary n' does not have legal blow which can avoid the capture of the king to the following blow. When a player reaches that point, qu' is said; he subdued l' adversary and gained the part. It is interdict to leave its own king in failure, to expose its own king to a failure and to capture the king of the adversary. L' adversary which was subdued lost the part. If the position is such qu' none of the two players n' with the possibility of subduing, the part is null.
The initial position of the parts on l' chess-board L' chess-board is composed d' a grid of 8 out of 8 is 64 boxes of equal size alternatively of clear color (boxes known as white) and dark (boxes known as black). L' chess-board is placed between the players in such a way that the angular box with the right-hand side of each player is white. At the d' beginning; a part, a player has 16 parts of clear color (white parts) and l' other of 16 parts of dark color (black parts). These parts are the following ones: :D
There's a lot of translators... But they aren't are so good. If you really want to understand a tread, I think that you should ask us and we'll can translate it for you :)
You could try Google Translate, just keep in mind that a lot of the words (especially chess-specific terms) won't be very exact.
I've read through it a bit. I have some trouble following it at times, but there's some good stuff in there. Like Pierre Denommee getting all mad and threatening legal action because someone else is daring to run a "Montreal Chess Championship". Exactly the sort of thing that will persuade Governors to maintain the FQSE as an affiliate ;)
