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.
In August 2010, we hired Francis Rodrigues to manage our Toronto operation...this turned out to be totally awesome for Chess'n Math (CMA)!
If we had such motivated people working for us...in all of the 20 full-time positions we offer at CMA...we would double our influence in the community overnight!
On the weekend...we had 149 players at our regular Toronto February event in Toronto...up from 83 last year!

Are you looking for 19 new employees? :D
As for Francis, yeah, he has a charisma to attract people.
Do you still run a Friday night club? :)
What can we say about Francis? As Larry would say" Totally Awesome". Larry,ever hear about a "life contract?" John J Henry,Senior Instructor,C&M,Ontario Certified Trainer,Broker......
In August 2010, we hired Francis Rodrigues
Thank you Francis and your team!
YOU ARE ALL VERY AWESOME!
Larry
He's also a valued chesstalk poster, with wit and brevity, but the name is spelled Rodriguez not Rodrigues. You're dreaming of vacation in Portugal (or maybe of the Fado singer Amalia); you should have been dreaming of vacation in Spain (or maybe the grandmasters Amador or Orestes).

Interesting...I am sure he has a story behind this....I never noticed...thanks for pointing it out :)
I would like to completely agree with Larry,
Francis is very energetic, and a hard working person. I've called the office few times, and he was there quite late. He is a business man, as he has businesses out side of chess, and there is no doubt that CMA needs people with skills that he has. Schools are doubled, tournaments are growing in terms of participants. What else is there to say. He is a great coordinator, and hopefully he will stay with CMA as long as he can.
