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.
Un tournoi d'échecs de parties lentes comptant pour le Tour du Québec, le «Tournoi d'échecs du Carnaval» (TÉC) figure parmi les événements phares des échecs au Québec. Un total de 7600$ en bourses sur la base de 120 inscriptions payantes ou plus sera versé aux meilleurs de chacune des 4 sections. Les sections A et B seront évaluées à la FIDE/FCE/FQE, tandis que les sections C et D le seront par la FQE. Le stationnement est gratuit. Les dates retenues pour le TÉC sont les 14, 15 et 16 février 2020.
De plus, les joueurs qui s'inscriront et paieront au plus tard le 2 février 2020 courront la chance de gagner une participation gratuite à un des tournois d'échecs organisés par Ovation Échiquéenne. Votre nombre de chances de gagner sera égal au nombre entier de jours qui sépareront le moment où vous paierez votre inscription du début de la première ronde!
Avec le « Blanc & Noir de St-Jean » qui vient de se terminer, le prochain tournoi comptant pour le Tour du Québec sera le Tournoi d'échecs du Carnaval, les 14-15-16 février.
Il est suggéré que les joueurs qui habitent hors de la région de Québec réservent tôt leur chambre d'hôtel afin de s'assurer une disponibilité à un coût raisonnable. N'oublions pas que le tournoi a lieu durant la dernière fin de semaine du Carnaval de Québec.
On est rendu à 28 inscriptions pour le Tournoi d'échecs du Carnaval. L'événement débute dans 14 jours. Notez qu'à chaque tournoi que nous organisons, nous faisons tirer une participation gratuite à un de nos tournois. Cela comprend le Championnat Ouvert du Québec.
