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.
The FQE representatives will be asked to vote on the agreement on July 19.
Felix, can you give us some insight into the FQE governance structure?
Are the FQE representatives similar to CFC governors? How many are there, and do they represent a particular region? Will a simple majority be enough to approve the agreement?

Bob, Bob, Bob...
You already asked those questions in this thread ... and you got answers.
"Who are the governors of the FQE? How many are there?
How does the FQE governance structure work? Similar to CFC?" -Gillanders
How many times are you going to ask the same questions belatedly now that the motion has been voted ? And then you wonder why Spraggett makes fun of you and the CFC...
"Cette entente sera soumise au CA le 29 juillet prochain pour approbation finale."
Félix,
Could you make a minimum of effort to at least provide basic information correctly ?
Thanks for telling me. Apparently there was a typo in one of the articles regarding the agreement. Of course, the correct date is July 19, as there is no meeting on July 29. As mentionned a few times, the vote will take place after the plenary session on July 19.

Jean, Jean, Jean, you never answered my questions!
Instead, you told me to go google myself.
Thankfully, Felix was more helpful.

How could such a critical mistake lay there for so long is beyond understanding.
It means anyway that the vote will be rushed just days before the president and some other members leave their office, leaving this poisoned legacy to their successors. It would have been much wiser to let the newly elected people decide for themselves according to their new mandate.
At this point it is already quite clear that there is very little support for this deal among FQE members. Do you believe Felix that the CA people should follow the FQE president or the FQE members they should represent ? I am curious to get your opinion on this.

I gave you an answer (and then some...) a few posts below in the same thread :
"The FQE has no governor or anything similar allowing in-depth discussions. Decisions are taken during board meetings by a board made of the executive (five people including the president) and some (7-8?) regional delegates. Since that the executive has already approved the deal, it would take an almost unanimous stand against it from the regional delegates to overturn it. That is very unlikely to happen even though this "support" would only indicate a lack of proper consideration for this rushed and superficial deal."
Apparently you can't "google yourself" and you can't follow a thread properly. Too demanding for you. No doubt, you were uniquely qualified to be CFC prez.

Only one representative will be replaced for the 2012-2014 CA. It's not like if the entire board was going to change...
You might think it's clear that people don't like the agreement, but it's not true. Why would people go on Chesstalk and try to argue with you, all this to receive personal attacks? They prefer to simply send an email, or to call at the FQE, and congratulate the volunteers for their work. Maybe 1% of a thousand members publicly denounced the agreement, and it's pretty much the same people that always criticize everything.
I believe the CA should do what is best for chess in Quebec. No matter what you might think, I am convinced that the agreement is great for all the chess players in Quebec. Very few chess players really care about chess politics. They just want their representatives to ameliorate the services they can have access to. I am sure that our representatives will take the best decision with all the information they have.

What about your personal attacks and your condescendant ways to tell people that they don't understand and don't see the "truth" ? Why would people argue with a teenager who is never wrong, knows everything and would rather die than change his mind on anything ?

Thanks for giving an exemple of what I was talking about :)
