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.
What's in it for Trump to work on a very detailed platform and then say he has nothing to do with it? Even for a liar, that makes no sense.
I found this video very instructive on what is in Project 2025. Good / Bad ? - decide for yourself.
I hope Trump talks more about Project 2025, explain what parts he agrees with and which he finds "ridiculous and abysmal"
By preventing the Democrats from introducing 'Marxist' policies (as outlined in my post #48) in America...
It is unlikely that he himself will do much, but then 'that government is the best which governs the least'!
Your #48 (see below) doesn't say much of anything about how Trump intends to make America great again. Surely there must be something more specific involved in making America great again.
I fully agree!
And I hope that they do not choose Autocracy, in which you are fined almost half a billion dollars for telling your bank that your property is worth xyz, but the bank can verify that before advancing any loan,
in which you may be put into jail for giving a porn film star a lot of your own money, to which your own wife does not object,
in which more of your money can be legally stolen,
in which the government can determine at what price you can sell your own goods, even if you have to stop selling that and create shortages to avoid a loss,
in which the government can print lots of money and autocratically distribute it, even if it causes inflationary hardships for the rest...
1. barely left of centre;
2. the party fully supports Capitalism (It is miles away from Social Democracy & Socialism, let alone Democratic Marxism);
3. it has oligarchical capitalist donors;
4. it does not support universal public health, dental & optical.
Can you tell us, Dilip, say in just 4 or 5 bullet points, how Trump would make America great again?

And of course we all believe everything Trump says.

Of course, the diaper-soiling, long-time senile pedophile president never lies, and even his diaper shit does not stink? Yes, that's right, he is a pedophile; according to his daughter Ashley's diary entries that she admitted in a court of law were hers
Yeah, of course. And that is why I believe Bob G should start getting optimistic about the future of USA, as Trump is likely to be able to make America great again!

Trump has stated on his social media platform that he "knows nothing about Project 2025" and has "no idea who is behind it." He has also described some of the project's proposals as "ridiculous and abysmal"

Are you sure? There seems to be a lot of overlap of Trump people and Project 2025 people.
If he really didn't know anything about Project 2025 as he claims, shouldn't he have?

I am not placing any huge bets on the outcome unless they try to incarcerate Trump. My feeling is that Trump will win. Hiding Harris can only work as a strategy for so long. If lawfare was going to work, it would have worked already. They say people will vote with their pocketbook. I suspect that the Border Tsar will pay for that appointment and her ineffectiveness along with the ineffectiveness on everything else.
And the polls will never be there unless the American voting public suffers collective amnesia to the extent that only happens in science fiction. Two months ago Kamala Harris was the most hated Vice President in U.S. history. Remember Dan Quayle and Dick Cheney who shot a friend in the face while he was in office.
Project 2025 has nothing to do with Trump. He has long ago disavowed it. Of course that doesn't stop the corporate media and their socialist lackeys from lying about it.
If they want crime, open borders, inflation and more green new deal debacles they will vote democrat. Currently it doesn't look like it is going to happen unless a lot of people just fell off the turnip truck.
Yeah, of course. And that is why I believe Bob G should start getting optimistic about the future of USA, as Trump is likely to be able to make America great again!
at least they are on the same page, three very over confident guys: Trump Kennedy & Vance.
I have no idea how this changes the polls.
The DNC convention went well, but discouraging to see not move more than they have.
But there is a lag, so we'll see over the next week or 2.
I still think by November Harris will be leading in all the battleground states, but the polls are not there yet.

Hopefully we'll hear more about Project 2025 this week.
Section on labour laws (page 605), they plan to roll back NLRA and FLSA.
National Labour Relations Act (1935). They plan to reverse the right to organize a union.
Fair Labour Standards Act (1938). They plan to reverse the right to overtime pay.
