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.
Trudeau and Health Canada were given the opportunity to sit down with the scientists and Dr's within this group and openly debate and
discuss the medical merits and work out their differences. This was offered before the protestors arrived in Ottawa, It was offered from day 1.
Trudeau described the group as a Nazi supporters carrying confederate flags and other fringe groups. You were there, Neil, is that what it looked
like to you?
That false characterization by Trudeau was simply a rationalization for not meeting with these people. If you want to blame someone, blame Trudeau, who ended
up having to do what they wanted anyways. The protestors fully expected a resolution during the protest phase.
Many Canadian flags were flying in Ottawa this weekend. Protesters marched with them and truckers festooned their rigs with them, and some Ottawa residents attached them from their cars in support of the protests.
However, it is an affront to all Canadians that the Nazi flag was flying in their midst. It is surreal that racist groups like the National Socialist Black Metal (Aryan black metal) movement felt sufficiently emboldened to proudly wear their jackets at the protests.
But don't get me wrong, Sid ... I'm not a fan of this Trudeau.
So what's the difference between a 'protest in the street' and an 'occupation of the street' ?
???
For anyone ... anyone at all ... I had this very same exchange with Jesse Waters of Fox News too ... go ahead and spin Trudeau's actions however you'd like ... undemocratic, unconstitutional, uncivilized ... then go ahead be honest enuff to ask the same of Ottawa's residents, Ottawa's business owners, Ottawa's property tax payers too.
Ottawa residents are pretty much pissed off ... still are.
Protesters closure of our rail system ... drought ... water rationing ... raising property taxes year after year after year ... then a bunch of well organized anti-vax truckers try to occupy our city streets. Seriously ... you think that's going to last long?
How long does it take before a protest turns into an occupation?
Costing Ottawa over 1 million per day for security alone?.
How long?
...
Push came to shove.
We pushed back.
...
Come ahead and protest in our streets all you like ... but don't ever try to occupy our city streets.
Thanks so much.
...
I'm STILL unvaxxed ... I get it.
I do.

The Canadian trucker protests featured prominently in the debate. During Murray’s opening remarks, the British commentator and fellow National Review contributor, laid into Prime Minister Trudeau and Canadian media outlets for failing to challenge the government-approved narrative that the protests were organized by bigots of various stripes.
“The Canadian mainstream media acted as an amen chorus of the Canadian government,” Murray argued. “Now why is this is rancid? So utterly, utterly, rancid and corrupt? Because in this country your media–your mainstream media–is funded by the government.”

Trudeau says that the anti-lockdown protests in China are good, and that citizens there should be allowed to express themselves. I guess as long as they don't lead to any change in government policies then it's okay to protest.
US Embassy in China ...
We encourage all U.S. citizens to keep a 14-day supply of medications, bottled water, and food for yourself and any members of your household.

It is seeming to me that The New World Order (NWO), also called the Great Reset, is emerging as a most concerning direction for the globe, along with climate change and world health (COVID-19).
Do CT'ers think it should now become it's own separate Non-chess topic? I, personally, think it is a critical issue for the globe's future, and will affect all aspects of human life.
If so, I'd be willing to start the new thread.
But I think there are others posting in this thread who are likely more knowledgeable on this topic than yours-truly.
Let me know whether a new separate thread is a good idea.
My point though is that governments closed parks, recreation centres, gyms, etc. but kept open places to get junk food, fast food, etc. I'm thinking the percentage of the population that is now morbidly obese has gone up, not down, during a pandemic where one of the greatest risk factors is ... being morbidly obese.
I have a suspicion that literally doing nothing would have been better than the net of all the things that governments did to combat the pandemic.
That was my thinking too when I created this graphic ...

Dear friends and foes of Stilum Curiae, we offer for your attention this important talk by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò at the event sponsored by Medical Doctors for Covid Ethics International. Happy reading and circulation.
“… Just in the past few days, at the G-20 Bali summit, Klaus Schwab instructed heads of government – almost all coming from the Young Global Leaders for Tomorrow program of the World Economic Forum – about the future steps to be taken in view of establishing a world government. The president of a very powerful private organization with enormous economic means exercises undue power over world governments, obtaining their obedience from political leaders who have no popular mandate to subject their nations to the delusions of power of the elite: this fact is of unprecedented gravity.
Klaus Schwab said: “In the fourth industrial revolution, the winners will take it all, so if you are a World Economic Forum first mover, you are the winners” (here). These very serious statements have two implications: the first is that “the winners will take it all” and will be “winners” – it is not clear in what capacity and with whose permission. The second is that those who do not adapt to this “fourth industrial revolution” will find themselves ousted and will lose – they will lose everything, including their freedom.
In short, Klaus Schwab is threatening the heads of government of the twenty most industrialized nations in the world to carry out the programmatic points of the Great Reset in their nations. This goes far beyond the pandemic: it is a global coup d’état, against which it is essential that people rise up and that the still healthy organs of states start an international juridical process. The threat is imminent and serious since the World Economic Forum is capable of carrying out its subversive project, and those who govern nations have all become either enslaved or blackmailed by this international mafia….”
1. Calling others who believe differently from oneself as conspiracists is not warranted.
2. During my training in critically reviewing 'Science', by the experts at the National Cancer Institute of Canada, I was shown how & why many 'scientific' publications, especially those sponsored by big-pharma (and nowadays most of them are sponsored by big-pharma in Medicine), have such major flaws that you cannot believe in what they say... The way big pharma has taken control of 'Science' nowadays, I fear that such teachers would now be 'scared' to criticize their publications, lest they get sacked for doing so...
