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

* 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.
I guess you didn't really read my post, or get my point, so I was wasting my time!
I live in the Ottawa area, and I have edited the link, which got truncated in the translation.
I get your point. You like the MET office REVISED models based on temperatures but don't like it when others use weather records temperatures and come to different conclusions.

It is a normal science. You can observe, analyze, make conclusions, create predictions.
The topic wasn't set up that way. Rather than wording the topic so it's a discussion of climate change, it's been worded in a confrontational manner where there is only the black and white of assertion and denial.
To clear the record on the UK meteorological office, they DID not say that global warming stopped 16 years ago. Their work was taken completely out of context by the scum of the earth climate denial charlatons and their evil overlord oil thugs...they cleared that up the day after the original denialist kool-aid drinking shysters got all excited...

Maybe Bob A. should give you a prize for the best use of approved adjectives in a climate change discussion. :)

Odd, they interviewed Jones and he said there hadn't been warming for 16 years but he wouldn't worry until the lull hit two decades. Looks like we should look for some cuts in government spending in this area given the lack of warming.
Live feed mandatory viewing until 8 pm on Thurs. Nov. 15th; become informed about climate change, renewable energy, dirty weather; then you will be armed to completely trash the nonsensical koolaid drinking talking head oil energy stooges that post here... http://climaterealityproject.org/
On the Arctic now: 1.18 million views so far --- get informed -- get ammunition to trash the climate denial simpletons...

My latest Sierra Club Canada blog on why meteorologists at Environment Canada and Accuweather and elsewhere can no longer get any seasonal forecasts correct -- they both say Ottawa will be cold and snowy this winter -- don't think so -- http://www.sierraclub.ca/en/Climate2.0
Take that climate denying echo chamber fanatical zombie earth haters...

Re: Climate Change ( 3rd Version ) - Assertion & Denial
The claim here is that average annual temperature is constant over the specified period because the period started on a warm part of the cycle, and ended on the cold part of the cycle.
This claim predicts therefore that coming years will involve a return to the warm part and the average temperature will go up. Further, by the time we get to the next cooling cycle, the longer chart from 1998-202x will show a distinct warming trend, even as 1988-2012 shows a warming trend.
In short, 2013-2016 will be warmer than present. Global mean temperature from 1998-2016 will show an increase.
That is the anthropogenic climate change orthodoxy's response to the reason for lack of warming over the eleven year period 1998 to 2008. This pattern of no discernible warming has continued through 2012. If the pattern continues for another 16 years will this finally be relegated to the pile of quaint chicken little theories like global cooling, peak oil, Malthus's mass starvation predictions and so on? Probably not, as long as there is money to be made from a gullible public.
