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.
What email service do you use? More than likely, you use more than one. There are pros and cons to using each one - there likely is no absolute 'correct' answer. As for the meat, the bread, the sandwich etc. - I don't know.
before I moved to Europe to do my exchange program I used my Cogeco email acount and my Ryerson university account, I also had a gmail account that I sometimes used but was something I had before I had set up home internet service
to me it makes no difference which one you use, there is no real advantage of one over the other
There are so many things that can affect your preference... the interface, archiving, search functions, functionality, storage etc. So obviously he's saying that if you include white bread and I only like whole wheat, I am clearly going to decline it and go get my known-to-be-good white bread as I usually do, just as I will stick to a different email because I like it better...
How is that not logical?
sure use whatever you prefer, but don't tell me that everyone should go by your preference - where is the logic in assuming that everyone shares your own preferences
in any case explain to me how any of those emails differ in any significant way, since you often use Outlook as your interface, so really it comes down to whether you prefer to use Outlook or if you the gmail interface, not a lot of difference there from what I can see
except in some cases, such as the university requiring us to use only our Ryerson email to communicate with Ryerson so that there is no chance of someone spoofing us

...

lol - unless you rush out of an internet cafe in Europe and remain logged in to your Ryerson email web interface?
how does market share affect me as an email user?, it does not therefore it is not a significant way
the implication is that people choose different emails for different reasons, which affects the market share.
You asked me to explain how the emails differ in any specific way. That is not the question. Whether they differ or not (they clearly do or they'd be identical.. but thats not the topic), people have their preferences.
It doesnt really matter what they find different so much as THAT they find something different. The fact that they have preference supports the analogy earlier, which was based on someone preferring one email over another as their reason to decline a free one.
and gmail does not require me to have their email either, they only give me the option as well
by my logic, if I buy sandwich meat from you and you offer to include free bread with the meat to make my own sandwich, I will take your offer of free bread, by your logic I should buy the sanwich meat from you but go and get the free bread elsewhere instead and decdline the free bread that came with the sandwich meat - why would I want to do that?
and exactly who is gluten intolerant to their email? what is exactly the analogy you are trying to make here? for example a service provider email looks more verified to others than a gmail account you can just make up wholesale
Cogeco does not "require" that customers use their e-mail service. It's a free service offer to their customers, that's it.
I'm with Rogers. I can have free Rogers e-mail accounts, however I prefer to use my personal domains and my yahoo account. Rogers doesn't care, nor should they... nor do I for that matter.

No matter how big and bad you are, when a two-year-old hands you a toy phone, you answer it.
Hurrah! :D
My email is finally online again as of two minutes ago, 41 messages to read. :)
It must have been one nasty crash. Cogeco customers are regularly badgered by computer hackers with bogus emails posing as tech support people trying hack the system asking for people to reply with account info passwords etc. I guess maybe they finally got thru. :(
Anyway, I had a very nice and patient young lady from tech support help me thru the process of resetting passwords and getting me online. I think i will stay with Cogeco. :D
I don't think those campaigns are limited to Cogeco customers. They are trying to get access to individual banking information and other sensitive data to help them steal your identity and your cash.

Yes. I have several different email accounts and they typically say they are customer care for whatever domain your email is. The slightly higher-end ones will include the logo of the company.
