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!)
For the first time Canada will have 2 arbiters in a world chess event!
I am not sure I understand what your point may be? Can you state it succinctly and without the (apparent) personal attacks? Are you complaining how other people spend their time/money?
Tiresome, but consistent and predictable approach on your behalf, as well.
Do you retort more often on chess.ca, since the gang is a tighter knit?? First one in the dogpile when with the bigger pack.
Loads of cash for little return. This , right after Bluvstein has just ground Topalov to a fine powder. Waste of money for girls chess anyways, RESPs better, no?
DUDE; its all bout the kids if lookin for $$ in chess -- thru guvvy grants (OCA and Thorvardsson, for example), handouts from individuals ( selling tshirts and chocolate bars-- affiliation w/ schools a bonus) and from companies( ask for donations 'for the children' from banks, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, etc.)Looks like way too much work for an annual getaway to the same hotel chain, whether in Greece, Vietnam, or Turkey,etc. though. ;Andrei is by the book ( or bending it to his will)and now wants FI and IA titles; funny how Ong canceled fam trips for webinar.
Good luck to their great grandkids at the 2074 OLYMPICS:).
...snipped a lot of other stuff
Imagine all these expenditures placed in their kids RESPs instead.

"First I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for giving me the chance to take this seminar on line, I want to assure you that your efforts are appreciated and that you have my gratitude. I was thinking what I improve on this seminar, and I could not think about one thing that I would change. With this seminar on line, you are opening new ways for the FIDE family to grow and to improve the quality of the tournaments around the globe. When actions as this seminar, I hope then one day chess will be recognize as a sport everywhere and some day will be part of the Olympics. The seminar by itself was very well structured and presented, and the participants added to the learning experience. Their questions and their experience and of course on top of all this Takis' high level of professionalism and knowledge."
Andrei Botez, Canada - Canadian Chess Federation Tournament Director
Initially, I had family vacation on the same two weekends but decided to skip them to join this Internet Arbiter Seminar. But, I have no regrets because I learned many new things that I have never learned before in my life. So, thanks again Mr. Muradian and Mr. Nikolopoulos.
Simon Ong, Canada - Canadian Chess Federation Tournament Director

Sublime how junior organizer's offspring win their official sections, allowing for a purposeful family trip.Using this to self-title outside of FIDE regs ( you were supposed to be a top ten player, Ash) at FIDE Pokemon College as Trainer, is beyond my grasp,sadly.

Congratulations to Mr. Parmjit Sohal and Mr. Oleksandr (Alex) Kalaydin.
Larry, weren't we both arbiters at the Thessaloniki 1984 Olympiad, or am I hallucinating? At no extra charge. I know that I was there, just in case there is any doubt about which datum is missing.
There's also the World Chess Festival 1988, Saint John NB.
