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.
Ce n'est pas clair s'il y a une section ouverte. Pour toute réponse, Mercure m'a demandé si on avait élevé des cochons ensemble. On est loin de la classe de Greiss.
Est-ce que quelqu'un peut clarifier la situation? Peut-être Deschêsne?
A si c'est très claire pris sur le site du tournoi:
Originally posted by OE3R
Un joueur ne peut s’inscrire plus
de 1 section au-dessus de sa section.
Exemple, un joueur de 1500 qui normalement jouerait dans la section C,
pourrait s’inscrire dans le B, mais ne pourrait pas jouer dans la section A.
Et si c'est pas clair encore la réponse est non la section A n'est pas ouverte à tout le monde...
J'aime l'idée de limiter les inscriptions à une section en haut de sa cote. Ceux qui veulent un challenge sont servis, et on évite les situations où les cotes deviennent trop débalancées.
Quelqu'un peut expliquer aux organisateurs ce qu'est une section ouverte? Est-ce si compliqué à comprendre? Me semble que ça prend pas la tête à Papineau!
Heureusement, les organisateurs de l'Open de Sherbrooke l'ont compris. Bravo!
Voici extrait USCF :
FIDE: Section results submitted to FIDE for rating.
G/: Game in. For instance, G/75 means each player has 75 minutes for the entire game.
GPP: Grand Prix Points. The USCF Grand Prix is a year long contest, primarily for Masters.
HR: Hotel rates. For example, 90-95-100-105 means $90 single, $95 single, $100 3 in room, $105 4 in room. The 3 and 4 to a room rates usually include only two beds.
JGP: Junior Grand Prix. A year long contest for players under 21, which awards points for scoring against players at least 100 points above you in events in which most play is slower than G/60.
Memb req: Membership required; cost follows. Usually refers to state affiliate.
Norms: Results needed to qualify for the FIDE titles of International Master or International Grandmaster. Only tournaments of at least nine rounds can offer norms, and even with this many rounds, the tournament must also have sufficient foreign, titled, and FIDE rated players for a player to have a chance for a norm.
NS: No smoking. Standard at all CCA tournaments, so not listed. Open Section: A section open to all. Often has very strong players, but some who are eligible for lower sections choose to play for the learning experience.
Play up: To play in a higher section than necessary. For instance, a player rated 1700 who enters the Under 2000 Section (or Under 2200 Section or Open Section) when an Under 1800 Section is offered is "playing up."
QC: Quick Chess (Game/11 to Game/29). Minutes per player plus seconds of delay are used to determine rating system, so G/10, d2 equals 12 and is quick, not blitz. USCF rates these events with a separate Quick rating system. For CCA Quick rated events, we use the higher of the regular or quick rating.
Quad: 4-player round robin sections with similar strength players.
Rds: Rounds; scheduled game starting times follow. For example, rds Sat 11-2-5:30, Sun 10-4:15 means rounds begin Saturday at 11 am, 2 pm, and 5:30 pm, Sunday at 10 am and 4:15 pm.
Reg: Late registration at site (not necessary at CCA tournaments if you have entered in advance; we have no "check-in").
RR: Round robin (preceded by number of rounds).
SD/: Sudden death time control (time for rest of game follows). For example, 40/2, SD/1 means each player has 2 hours for the first 40 moves, then 1 hour for the rest of the game.
Section: A division of a tournament, usually excluding players above a specified rating. Players in a section face only each other, not those in other sections.
SS: Swiss System pairings (preceded by number of rounds).
U: Under. For example, U1200 means Under 1200.
Unr: Unrated. Note that players with foreign ratings or categories are not unrated, and provisionally rated players are not unrated. Also, you never lose your rating, so if you were rated 40 years ago, you are not unrated. And if you have an unofficial rating at www.uschess.org/msa based on at least 4 games, we will usually consider you to be rated.

Ils n'ont peut-être juste pas le temps et l'envie de discuter avec toi.
En gros, ce que personne n'ose te dire...
On s'en câlisse de tes sections ouvertes ou pas ouvertes
On s'en câlisse que tu n'aimes pas les ''Opens''
On s'en câlisse de tout le reste de tes lamentations.
Et surtout, Denis lui-même, avec une cote en haut de 2000, devrait s'en câlisser de comment on défini le terme 'open' ou 'ouvert' pour la première section. :p
Wow On peut dire que c'est clair, net et précis. J'ajouterai qu'en 2016 l'organisation du COM avait clairement dit à M. Gauthier qu'il n'était pas le bien venu au COM suite à une de ses attaques contre moi sur ce babillard et par courriel. On m'en avait informé... Les faits parlent d'eux-mêmes...:(

Les organisateurs ont bien d'autres choses à faire que de répondre à ce genre de jérémiades.
Si un joueur n' aime pas comment est organisé un tournoi, il n'a qu'à ne pas y jouer, c'est tout!
Parfaitement d'accord avec toi. Par la même occasion je t'invite personnellement au tournoi que j'organise l'automne prochain. La publicité est sur le site de la FQE et tu le verras sûrement à OÉ3R.
Les insultes sont le lot de ceux qui n'ont pas d'arguments.
Et j'estime que les organisateurs doivent être compétents, surtout quand on paie pour jouer.
Quand un organisateur ne comprend pas ce qu'est une section ouverte...C'EST PAS FORT!

Personne ne t'a insulté Denis, On ne t'as pas traité de quoi que ce soit. On est juste tanné de tes perpétuels lamentations. Sans oublier ceux par courriel...Tu devrais aller faire un voyage à Jérusalem pour tes doléances. http://www.futura-sciences.com/plane...erusalem-5372/
