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.

Anti-mask ... fully vaxxed ... Texas fleeing cowardly Democrats, in their plushy private jets, are now testing COVID-19 positive, ha!
They fled in their plushy jets up to Washington for an tax payer's all expense sleep over! These idiot Americans have now spread COVID-19 to some of Biden's and Pelsoi's aides. Ha! Ha! Ha!
Brain, your childish ad hominem attacks really need to stop. I am happy to discuss science, science censorship, data, and medicine with you and welcome your input on things like why you believe for example that the VAERS data is not a valid barometer of vaccine safety. So let me start with that
1) You asserted that the VAERS it is not valid as it is populated with many false reports and that the reporting is anonymous. I already refuted both those statements showing that reporting is not anonymous at all and that serious criminal liability is associated with posting a false report. Deaths are simply not possible to fake. The US system has a vaccine damages compensation court hence severe criminal penalties surround filing false adverse event reports.
2) It is estimated in the US that less than 1% of adverse events from vaccines are reported to the VAERS.
3) The vaccine safety data for other countries are even more horrific. As an example a low populated area like Scotland with a population of only 5.5 million we have 5.5 thousand deaths within 28 days of the administration of the Vaccine in the last 6 months. In 2020 approximately 62,000 deaths from all causes in Scotland. 54% of the population is vaccinated so one would expect about 2604 deaths from all causes for the 54% population that was vaccinated that died within a month of vaccine administration. The excess within this group is large with almost 3000 deaths in the last 6 months. In fact, that would predict up to over 200000 deaths in the US for the first 6 months so the VAERS of only 12000 deaths appears low in comparison and if anything is underreporting deaths.
4)A CDC insider whistleblower filed testimony in a lawsuit a few days ago that the CDC has death stats coming in from 11 different sources such as Medicaid, Medicare, etc. From Medicaid data alone the whistleblower claims that she was instructed not to report 45000 vaccine deaths. Again this employee did this under criminal threat of perjury if he/she is making false testimony. If these numbers are true then the deaths would correlate more or less with what smaller areas like Scotland are reporting.
The article on the vaccines you posted does not address the points I have already made nor does it take into account horrific stats re vaccine safety in other geographic venues.
Brian a single death as you know is neither here nor there. It does not prove or disprove anything at all. Good propaganda for the anti HCQ, anti herd immunity crowd but statistically is irrelevant for or against. Furthermore, COVID19 is a biphasic disease and depending which phase would determine the efficacy of HCQ. HCQ is very good early stage as a treatment but not good late stage where Ivermectin has shown great efficacy. If this woman in this article took HCQ past around 7 days into the disease it is questionable whether it would have worked at all.

Sounds like a place Sid would be welcomed with open arms.
Unlike our Government freedom of speech is protected on Bitchute and that is something worth fighting for. When Governments start directing Facebook, twitter and youtube what can be posted and not posted then these entities become state actors and censorship tramples all over our constitutionally protected rights.
If censorship of peer-reviewed science, Dr' and scientists is the only argument the State has to offer then we are living in a Nazi-like society.

I saw you wrote more crap, but I swear on my life, I read none of it, because you are a nut.
I stopped reading when the word "Nazi" jumped out at me. For you, who once complained to me, at the time a moderator of this forum, about someone posting an anti Jewish cartoon, I find your use of the word in this fashion amazing. I thought you could not go lower than your famous "mask" post, but you proved me wrong. A Nazi-like society kills millions of people. Comparing anything to it is completely out of touch. Congrats, you are king among the crazies. Get out there and make another bitchute video!

You find that "offensive and low"???. or the mask post that in no way attacked Islams in the way you claim it did, do us both a favor and get your head examined and stop harassing me and attacking me personally. Especially accusing me of crimes, (filing false reports), you want to continue with that I will sue you and notify your employer.
Here is testimony from an actual Holocaust Survivor and Medical Ethicist Vera Sharav who absolutely sees parallels between the Nazis and 4,000,000 deaths to date of which 85% were avoidable with early intervention. Therapies that your Govt has made illegal for Dr's to prescribe and they lose their license to practice if they even post about it on social media. No question that this is a Nazi society. It started with eldercide and is ending with coercing people with experimental therapies that was outlawed at the end of World War 2 when Nazi Dr's did forced medical experimentation against concentration camp inmates. Those Dr's were convicted in Nuremberg and executed.
If you are not riled up that a cytotoxic protein is being forced into our bloodstreams, something is very wrong with you.

F YOU. That is the second time you have threatened me. You have no moral high ground to accuse me of anything and have attacked many people personally. Look no further than your last response to Ben at the top of this page. Go away and post your garbage on Parler or bitchute using your new Freedom phone.

Yes, the first time you agreed to cease and desist the cyber harassment in writing. Looks like your word is as worthless as the bullshit you post.
Ben at least presents his arguments and actually reads what I post. You are just a one-way fire hose of falsehoods and libel.
If you think I am just going to sit here and accept one gratuitous and libelous statement after another from you you are sorely mistaken.
You don’t own this forum so stop behaving as you do. You don’t like what I say F off and stop reading it.

Interesting article. In the U.S. (and other places too, to varying degrees), many of the well-to-do object to having their tax dollars used to 'carry' the poor. Will there come a day when smart people object to carrying the cognitively challenged?

David Frum is an epidemiologist? If so, I would love to know where he got his degree.
Let's start with this statement from the article
"With most adults immunized, new and more infectious coronavirus variants would have nowhere to spread"
Here is what happened in the last week in Israel one of the most vaccinated populations in the world with the the delta variant and the vaxxed. The vaccine does not confer immunity or stop transmission. The vast majority of infections and transmissions come from the vaccinated, not the unvaccinated.
