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

* 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.
This post has been up for 12 days now, only 27 views before I came here tonight. I am encouraged that this means I have been successful in showing what a fanatical zealot Dilip Panjwani has been on this site in the past several months, trying to convince ChessTalkers that ultra-right-wing Libertarianism is the way for the world to go to avoid all the ills of this age we are in. Only 27 times someone has cared enough to look into this post. I hope the reason for this is that the majority see the name Dilip Panjwani and remember he is the one who favors a "Natural Law" that will be administered from one central authority and imposed on all. There will be no lawyers to fight for the underdogs and the wronged, there will only be a police state that enforces -- without exception! -- the Natural Law.
I exposed that horrible vision of Libertarianism right here on this site, all using the rhetoric of Dilip himself. I feel good about what I did, someone had to do it.
As for Ronald Reagan, he was he was famously quoted as saying "government is the problem". What the eff did he DO ABOUT IT? U.S. federal government GREW IN SIZE AND SCOPE during Reagan's 8 years.
You want to dispute that Dilip? Read this and weep:
Not surprising that a nasty troll like Pargat cannot understand that the increase in Reagan's spending was solely in developing a strong military which brought the Marxist Soviet Union to its knees...

LOL and it is not surprising that a biased fanatic like Dilip wouldn't even look at the article I posted.
Because if he did, he would see....
"the (U.S.) federal workforce increased (under Reagan's 2 terms) by about 324,000 to almost 5.3 million people. (The new hires weren’t just soldiers to fight the communists, either: uniformed military personnel only accounted for 26 percent of the increase.) "
26% is not "solely" Dilip!!!!! Learn some math skills please.
Also learn some geopolitics. Did the U.S. military have much to do with the 1989 collapse of the Soviet Union? Really?
And look where we are now .... a vastly strengthened Russia taking it to Eastern Europe and threatening nuclear war against Britain and USA. Thank you Ronald Reagan, if we are to believe Dilip. LOL

The nasty troll does not realize that military is much more than just uniformed personnel...

Why do I call you a biased fanatic? Well, it's quite simple. I just showed you that your "Libertarian" hero President Reagan, who said "government is the problem" grew the size of the government workforce during his 8-year Presidency by about 240,000 non-military people (74 percent of 353,000 people, the other 26 percent were military people).
You just skipped over that, didn't address it at all. Your small-government hero GREW GOVERNMENT by a quarter of a million people on the federal payroll, non-military! It took a Democrat, Bill Clinton, to shrink the federal payroll!
Biased fanatic! I dare you to explain this! Stop your stupid diversion tactics, you fool no one.

Libertarianism is a FRAUD.
Reagan's efforts were directed at bringing down the evil of Marxism, and he succeeded very well! "Tear down the wall, Mr. Gorbachev", and down it came indeed!!
And it does not matter if nasty trolls are convinced of it or not...

And yet again, Dilip fails to address the issue.
I repeat:
Your small-government hero GREW GOVERNMENT by a quarter of a million people on the federal payroll, non-military! It took a Democrat, Bill Clinton, to shrink the federal payroll!

Yeah, Bill was so good at removing his people and his pants...
Reagan made America and the world grow, by dismantling the Marxist USSR!
