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.

Re: Vote for 2010 Canadian Chess Player of the Year
Not only should Jason Cao win the Player of the Year, should not a world champion at an age be automatically inducted in to Canadian Chess Hall of Fame:)

Agreed that one result does not make a career, however world champion!
Just wondering if Canada has had any other chess world champions in any category?
Re: Vote for 2010 Canadian Chess Player of the Year
Strongly disagree. The player of the year should be one with continuous contribution and performance at high level. U10 World Championship is great and encouraging but can be also the the result of a once in a lifetime chance. I will be happy if future will prove me wrong.

Yuanling needs also to get nominated for "Chess in the library" program. That is one of the thinks that will help Canadian chess on the long run.

Re: Vote for 2010 Canadian Chess Player of the Year
Yuanling Yuan gets my vote.
Top rated female chess player in Canada.
Leads our female team at the Olympiad
And prehaps most importantly, tirelessly promotes chess with her "Chess in the Library" programs, now running in several areas.

Re: Vote for 2010 Canadian Chess Player of the Year
Larry Bevand gets my vote if it is for the person who did the most for chess in Canada this year. That still wouldn't make him Player of the Year. Perhaps there should be two awards, one for achievements over the board and another for chess-related achievements away from it.

The process should have some kind of Juri to select only 3-5 names, not 20.
After some thoughts I scaled down to 3 who/what made history in 2010:
Mark's wins vs Topalov (there is no luck in chess :D and N.Djukic (a game of the year
Jason Cao - The champion
Bator - the player and the abuser of the CFC rating :D
Now I'll go and create a new thread with chesstalk voting :D
