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.

Please consider this message as my official registration to your rapid tournament. The distance is not bad, just like driving to BUffalo for the Montly ACtive chess wit Mr. McDuffy.
Can you recommend some sights to see? I will be coming with my wife.
Thanks. See you on the 18th of September.

Thanks Erwin, I will forward this to David. Unfortunately I will no longer be able to attend and TD the tournament due to a lack of transportation.
As for good places to hang out in Barrie for the day; I would recommend the waterfront/downtown or Horseshoe resort located approximately 20 minutes outside of Barrie.
I still believe there will be some decent players attending and a pre-registration list should get to me within the next few days.

Sorry to know you wont be able to make it.
But thanks for the tips of where to hang out.
Tom was a creative writer, the author of novels, short stories, poetry, plays, dinner theatre, revues and radio dramas.
Tom was a communicator. He wrote newspaper and magazine articles,training manuals, promotional brochures, newsletter, educational films, local histories.
He had 13 books published. His novel, "Death Games", was the first action-adventure novel to make the N.Y. Times bestseller list. (For his novels published by Gold Eagle he used the series' pseudonyms Don Pendleton and Dick Stivers.) As well as reaching enormous Canadian and American audiences, many of his action-adventure novels were translated and widely sold in Japan and Spain.
Unfortunatly, I am still waiting for a pre-registration list to post. As of now I am kind of in the dark with regard to the finer detail of the tournament. I know Yuri Lebedev TD's tournaments at the club often so hopefully he has been contacted.
As for David Vasoff, he is one of the parents who now runs the club after Mary McCooeye left the role of president just recently. I suggest giving David a call using the number provided to get the current list since the tournament is only a few days away.
I regret to inform, particularly Mr. Casareno, that the 2010 Tom Arnett Memorial tournament will not be held on the date of September 17th as planned. This is primarily due to pre-registration issues. David and myself plan to reschedule the tournament to a date set in late October. this date will be finalized within the next few weeks. Hopefully this has not caused too much dissatisfaction for those planning on attending, regardless, we apologize for the inconvenience.
