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.
I'll let someone else go through the rest of the search. Help me out, Pargat. :)

Sid,
Being in active medical practice, I have first hand info about what a fool Big-Pharma is making of the medical profession, and through that, the public at large. We should probably get together and devise a strategy to do something about it for the good of our society.

Robert F Kennedy Jr about big pharma: "Four companies make all 72 of those vaccines, which is Pfizer, Glaxo, Merck, and Sanofi. All of those companies are convicted felons. And not only that, they're serial felons. Their business model is committing felonies. These companies, in the last 10 years collectively have paid $35 billion in penalties, damages, fines, for falsifying science, for defrauding regulators, for lying to doctors, and for killing hundreds of thousands of people. Vioxx, which was Merck's flagship product, killed between 120,000 and 500,000 Americans. This was a pill. And Merck was selling as a headache pill. Right. And Merck knew caused heart attacks and killed people. And they didn't tell anybody. And they knew a certain, you know, we got the spreadsheets that show there being counters. They were accountants. This is, you're going to kill so many people per dose. We can still make more money even if they all sue us. And in the end, they killed, you know, up to half a million Americans and they got away with it. They paid seven billion dollars in fines. Nobody went to jail. And this is... They probably made a hundred million in profits. It requires kind of a cognitive dissonance to believe that these companies that are lying and cheating on every other pharmaceutical product, every other medical device that they create...are somehow found Jesus vaccines and aren't lying to us. And the thing is with vaccines, vaccines is the only place they could never get caught because it's illegal in this country to sue a vaccine company."

"B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad said the vaccine mandates seemed to be more about shaping public opinion and controlling the population.
Rustad made the comments in a video interview posted on July 23 by the B.C. Public Service Employees for Freedom which opposes vaccine mandates. The video was publicized on Sept. 23 by the Conservatives’ political rival NDP on social media amid the provincial election campaign.
In the video, Rustad is seen speaking about a conversation he had with Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry on vaccine mandates.
“I’ve had three shots of the vaccine. I wish I hadn’t, quite frankly,” Rustad said. “That’s one of the things that has changed in my thinking. The so-called vaccine, the COVID mRNA shots.”
Rustad said the conversation with Henry left him feeling something wasn’t “quite right.”
“When I talked to Bonnie Henry about it, I started to realize that it wasn’t so much about trying to get herd immunity or trying to stop the spread, but it was more around shaping opinion and control on the population,” Rustad said."

Bob (Vaccination Supporter)
"The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them and do nothing".
"While the new mRNA vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech have dominated the COVID-19 vaccine story, there is another type of shot that uses a more traditional vaccine-making technology, used by Novavax. The vaccine is generating interest among some people online who prefer the more tried and true approach behind the company’s shot, so here’s what you need to know."
Top government officials in Slovakia are moving to ban “dangerous” Covid mRNA shots from the country after an explosive investigation determined that the pandemic was a “fabricated operation” and the “vaccines” were a resulting “act of bioterrorism.”
The findings were revealed in a Slovak government commission report on the nation’s investigations into the Covid pandemic.
The investigation was led by Commissioner Peter Kotlár.
In releasing his report, Kotlár held a press conference to call for the immediate ban of the Covid mRNA injections and called on governments around the world to do the same.
Due to the severity of the findings detailed in the report, Kotlár has called for an emergency “session of the government” to immediately ban the “vaccines” and to cut the nation’s ties with the globalist World Health Organization (WHO).
While the report has not yet been made public, Kotlár confirmed that it will be released after the “session of the government.”
However, he did reveal that the report details evidence showing that Covid was artificially created in a biolab and deliberately spread worldwide.
“The most serious consequence of the whole fabricated operation called the COVID-19 pandemic is the endangerment of human health and the confirmation of the naivety of the world population to be subconsciously obedient,” Kotlár said.
“Let us at least make the right gesture together by stopping the administration of mRNA preparations until their effectiveness and safety have been proven,” Kotlar demanded when presenting his report.
The most serious finding is that mRNA preparations alter human DNA, he notes.
The vaccines are therefore dangerous, the commissioner warns.
During the press conference, Kotlár specifically named Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
Kotlár asserted that government investigators found that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was funding the “fabricated operation.”
Dr. Fleming has been tipped to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) if President Donald Trump wins re-election.
Both Fleming and Kotlár made several references to Trump and noted that the 45th president shares their views on bringing justice to those behind the pandemic.
Fleming said he hopes the findings in Slovakia will provoke similar investigations in the United States.
“It is my hope that the materials provided will give you clarity so that you will have the courage to call for the investigation of the Americans through the U.S. government responsible for evolving these bioweapons.
“That you will withdraw these eugenic genetic vaccines from the Slovakian population.
“Stopping the harm and injury occurring to Slovakians, particularly your children.
“And to stand firm in your resolution to not sign the 2024 IHR and to go further with revocation of any presumed actions by the UN giving them authority over your country.”
The commission’s findings have sent shockwaves through the Slovakian government.
Health Minister Zuzana Dolinkova resigned almost immediately after Kotlár’s bombshell press conference.
Her resignation came after only eleven months in office.
Dolinkova justified it with differences of opinion over the budget, which provides for deep cuts in the healthcare system.
However, the sudden resignation was conveniently timed with Kotlár’s announcement about the government commission’s report.
Meanwhile, the government of Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico has declared its opposition to mRNA vaccines.
As a first step, it announced that it would end its cooperation with the WHO over the pandemic and the mRNA vaccine campaign.

Here's an organization with some opinions that differ from Kotlár's:
"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
Peter,
Your source has not pointed out a single item in Kotlar's report that was not true! Did they issue their 'opinion' out of pressure (maybe from Big Pharma)? Being a Health Care professional, I know that it is almost impossible to find a single colleague (with me included) who has not been 'gifted' (the more powerful, the bigger the gifts, like many, many thousands of dollars) by Big Pharma...

Dilip, I didn't speculate about what **precisely** the Academy's opinions are because, like you, I don't know.

and Peter, Big Pharma is following Natural Law under the "fair competition" clause so that they are committing no crime ... LOL .... yet Dilip really doesn't like it, does he?
I guess LIbertarianism isn't going to be a Utopia after all!!! LOL

There is nothing 'fair' about certain actions of big-pharma and and its paid 'guideline writers'. So stop making non-sensical comments, PP.
