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.
Great news, hopefully, the world will soon appreciate that many different early interventions
have been working for some time and even a few late interventions have shown efficacy.
The one described in the article sounds very impressive!
"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office." - Aesop
"Only the dead have seen the end of war." - Plato
"If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination." - Thomas De Quincey
The Senate minority leader condemned Trump’s actions as a “disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty” and said he held Trump “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.” McConnellcontinued:
The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instruction of their president. And their having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories, and reckless hyperbole which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth. The issue is not only the president’s intemperate language on January 6 … It was also the entire manufactured atmosphere of looming catastrophe, the increasingly wild myths about a reverse landslide election that was somehow being stolen by some secret coup by our now-president.

That's totally Irrelevant ... as usual.

50 million dollars later ... No Russia Collusion, No Abuse of Power, No Obstruction of Congress, No Incitement of Insurrection.
Democrats not only swindled the American people, they also swindled non-Americans too!!!

Ha!
After four years of being an obsequious lickspittle, Mitch McConnell finally discovers his backbone and speaks the truth and all you can say is "irrelevant?" Ha!

Good thing the Mueller report brought in over $40 million in seized assets from Manafort, so it paid for itself! Meanwhile, one analysis has Trump's golfing costs at over $150 million: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/...074?ri18n=true
Oh, and then there was that time he spent months spreading conspiracy theories about election fraud, which he also used as an opportunity to scam his fans out of over $200 million: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-the-money-now
It's truly bizarre how you say that McConnell's comments on whether or not Trump was responsible for what happened at the Capitol is irrelevant to the topic of... whether or not he was responsible for what happened. McConnell agreed that it was a failed insurrection, and he agreed that Trump was responsible for provoking it. No reasonable person actually thought that Trump would be convicted, because that would require Republicans to have principles, but everyone knows what he did, and this trial led to the most powerful Republican in the party admitting as much. The fact that you see this as some big win really shows how desperate you are to score points for your team.
That's a nice pivot there! I seem to remember you accusing me of pivoting before and using this as an excuse to refuse to answer any of my questions about how much money Trump has wasted going golfing. First you don't respond to it because you say that I'm pivoting, and then you yourself pivot to avoid responding to it again. Curious how concerned you seem to be every time Democrats spend money, but you never want to talk about the $150 million Trump's wasted going golfing...
This is a video where someone tries to clarify what this alleged doctoring was, then this guy gets super triggered and starts ranting for a couple of minutes, and then lies about what actually happened by claiming that she said, "To be fair, it was only a check on the Twitter." She didn't say that; she tried to establish what the claims were. Notably absent from this video that you used as a source for your claims that Democrats doctored evidence: any evidence of doctoring.
"To be fair, the House managers caught this error before showing it on the Senate floor, so you never saw it when it was presented to you," Schoen said Friday.
The video consists of documentary footage edited into a single narrative. It does not contain audio-visual distortions or splice together words to make someone say something they didn’t say.
It took me less than a minute to find these articles, but instead the source that you decided to use was a Facebook video of some guy reacting to an interview that presents no actual evidence. Why?
