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.
Someone put up this Trump sign overnight along the 405 freeway, near the Getty. This is right in the middle of what’s largely considered one of the most liberal cities in America.
That was QUICK. The city of Los Angeles Crybaby dimwits send out crews immediately to dismantle a HUGE Trump sign, meanwhile the taxpaying citizens have to wait up to 5 YEARS to get the city to remove rotting trees from their communities and repair crumbing public streets.
And here's another comment on the homeless, the filth, the drugs, that lays on the Democratic streets of California ... for years. And yet, they can take down a HUGE Trump sign in a matter of hours...
Bukowski, A Life: The Centennial Edition Paperback – July 28 2020

I have that one and the other three on my kindle app. I'm on page 83 and we're in 1944. His life is a train wreck. I would say more but there might be kids reading.
Trump's getting destroyed in the polls and he's saying all sorts of crazy stuff about COVID? Quick, someone bring up Hillary! Trump's definitely going to get her this time, just like he promised in 2016! Oh wait, but then he won, said that the Clintons are "good people," and didn't do anything. Really makes you think, doesn't it?

People like Frarey cannot think. Kind of like a lot of Germans in 1933. Swayed by right wing fear mongering propaganda. We all know how that turned out. Amerikkka has a lot to answer for. And no Neil, that is not a typo.

Congrats Larry ... looks like you've learnt how to spell.

Thanks, ok, if you remember, I would like to know your recommendation-or-not, when you finish reading Bukowski, A Life: The Centennial Edition Paperback – July 28 2020 by Neeli Cherkovski.

To bad the Dem meltdown won't go as well.
:))))
Neil, here's more reading for you. It's a comprehensive listing of Trump's...um....accomplishments(?). You can print it, frame it, and put it in your Trump shrine right next to the Frarey tribute to Trump for seperating refugee kids from their parents and then putting the kids in cages with tinfoil blankets!!
"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 one by his ex looks more entertaining though she doesn't get into the early years at least not the part I have read. He was not a role model for treatment of women as the first scene details a drunken fight they have at a party where he is jealous and tries to hit her on the head with a cast iron frying pan.
The movie Barfly with Mickey Rourke is somewhat autobiographical.
...seperating refugee kids from their parents and then putting the kids in cages...
Sigh ... those are the same cages that Obama & Biden built. Good to read that you approve of Trump's recycling policy.
MICHELLE OBAMA, on Americans: “They watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages."
THE FACTS: The reference to cages is misleading and a matter that Democrats have persistently distorted.
Trump used facilities that were built during the Obama-Biden administration to house children at the border.
