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.
Tony Ficzere, Western Canada's most active chess organizer and editor of the CFC's e-magazine for the past 2 years, has stepped down as editor ... IM Porper will take his place.
The information published in the Canadian Chess Newsletters. (I received the issue several days ago.)
Some excerpts from it related to the tread::
Editorial by T.F.: "Started a new job which has demanded most of my time....The next issue of CCN will likely be my last as editor. Other personal commitments are making it very difficult to meet deadlines and provide quality content. If you think you would like to take a stab at editing the newsletter, contact the CFC business office. There is an ad in this issue (you will have to find it yourself!) which gives you a little more information."
The ad is on page 40. "Canadian Chess News is looking for a new Editor!
Would you like to be Editor of Canadian Chess News?
The CFC is seeking an Editor for this newsletter. As Edi-tor, you will be responsible for all aspects of the newslet-ter. This includes soliciting articles from players and or-ganizers, editing, selling ad space, creating ads, graphics, as well as doing the entire layout each month.
Previous experience as an editor would be an asset. Good computer skills are essential!
If you are interested, please send your resume to the Chess Federation of Canada by email to: info@chess.ca"
Has the CFC found a new editor or is that still on the table...no not me LOL but I do know a few people who could do a great job.

Edward Porper is acting interim editor, but the permanent position is still open. Those interested should send their resumes to info@chess.ca just as the newsletter says. :)

Thanks Bob,
Since the people I know who are qualified read Chesstalk on a regular basis...I will leave it to them to make the next move...is there a cut off date?
i haven't received an issue since i renewed my membership this summer

Does the CFC office have the proper email address for you? Are you sure your membership was renewed (check the CFC website member info). If both of those are correct, you should email the CFC office and ask why you don't get the newsletter?
(the last one was quite large and may have been blocked by your email provider...)
Other possibilities: it ended up in a spam filter or otherwise was not brought to your attention... unfortunately, email is unreliable as hell.

There was some delays with summer issues, thus we (at least I) got a double magazine a week ago.
Give/write your email and I forward it to you. Keep in mind - it is a -big- file ~10mb.
Tony did a great job. By the way Egidijus, the prefix m means milli and is 1/1000, the prefix mega is M and it is 10**6...standard definitions internationally...
