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.
One storm can prove climate change. So simple is climatology.
It's not just one storm. Because according to Paul New York used to be hurricane proof and now it is not. It is all those future storms Paul is dreaming of. You know the ones he is already mentally unleashing. 'People of Sheldonopolis follow me'. After each one of which he gets to say I told you so. If Paul designed a Sim City believe you me you would not want to live there.
Don't bother him with facts of numerous past hurricanes that hit the same area centuries ago.
They must be from U.S. sources. It looks the tracking ends at the Canada/U.S. border.
Yes, mostly from the US satellite. Really old ones - no idea.
Imho, the current paths end where there are no more definitve center, and they becomes just bad weather.
Re: THE NEW One and Only Climate Change Whatever...
I think it's actually cooling. I had my little Bichon trimmed yesterday. The breed doesn't lose hair and has to be groomed. They take it down to about half an inch and the hair grows back out in a couple of months.
It's so cool I'm putting her doggie coat on her before she goes out so she won't shiver. (not joking.) Usually it's later in the year before I have to do that.
They trimmed the beard and mustache a little shorter than I like.
Re: THE NEW One and Only Climate Change Whatever...
Nice examples, Egidijus. Harder question: Were the conditions driving those storms westward like the conditions of Sandy, or was it a different driver?

sorry, I had enough hurricane science recently :D Lets wait till other.
Re: THE NEW One and Only Climate Change Whatever...
Great work Egidijus.
Yes, the left-turner is indeed a very rare beast. Technically, my statement still holds.
Dean, 1983 was not a hurricane turning left, it was a weaker tropical storm turning left (must have been due to meteorology; Coriolis always turns things right in the Northern Hemisphere).
Josephine, 1984 was much further North when it did a leftward 360, it did not turn left and impact the east coast.
Danelle and Denis did not actually urn left, they actually turned right and did a 270 and then headed to the east coast.
Thus, my statement still holds. Keep looking at tracks further back and you may yet prove me wrong. Great work!
