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.

We realized after we got the dates, but the 24th wasn't available--booked for the annual car show and the other weekends in July conflicted with the CO. It was simply a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.
We were able to reschedule our August date from Aug 21 (a key date as you know) to Aug 28. We'll announce shortly what we group we will be fundraising for--probably the W. Ross MacDonald School for the Blind.
Good news--we've received confirmation that our date has changed to August 7 so we won't be conflicting with the Kitchener Chess Festival. All other details are as Lee has posted.

I am looking forward to joining your rapid tournament but the darte of your choosing is critical to my schedule of work.
I feel excited to meet up with you guys, most specially to your reigning club champion Adam as well as the ever enterprising play of Mikhail Eogorov..the co-champion of the 2011 Niagara Falls Open.
Erwin - if I am reading this correctly, there are two dates. The July tournament that was pushed back to August 7th. But there is also a second tournament, the August tournament which is Aug 28th.
Lee is advertising for the first event, which I see he has edited this evening to show the new date of Aug 7th.
This is always a fun event. Chess outdoors in the sun and wind. Hopefully not too much wind. :)
Erwin:
Bob is correct, there are 2 dates in August that we have booked--August 7 and Aug 28. The Aug 7 is the Food Bank fundraiser and the second will likely be for the W Ross MacDonald School for the Blind, but we haven't decided for sure on the second one. Hope to see you
