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.
Une section intitulée Objectifs et plan d'action 2008-2009 a été ajouté au babillard de la FQSÉ.
Bien que la FQSÉ ait atteint tous les objectifs votés par l'assemblée générale de l'an dernier, certaines personnes semblent insatisfaites.
La FQSÉ a donc ajouté une section à son babillard afin de savoir ce que les membres désirent que leur Fédération adopte comme objectifs pour la prochaine année.
Pas seulement certaines personnes... Même la fédération canadienne a passé une résolution pour désaffilier la FQSÉ (Motion 2008-11 qui sera voté cet été lors de l'assemblé annuelle de la fédé) pour le peu (rien?) de résultats obtenu à date.
Voici un extrait du "Governor's Letter #8" de la fédé:
"That the CFC cancel the interim affiliate status of the FQSE.
Background: The FQSE has apparently done virtually nothing except recruit volunteers for its board and ask for donations - no tournaments, no signs of new memberships. They've had two years. "Interim" is not forever, it was intended to be a stepping stone to full affiliate status. I also note as per By-Law 1, Section 15, any Governors elected by the FQSE are not permitted to vote on this motion, which otherwise requires a 2/3 majority of votes cast."
Bonne journée à tous,
Joël.

Cette résolution n'est pas encore passée. La FQSÉ n'a pas encore fait étalage de ses réalisations et lorsque cela sera fait, la FQSÉ est confiante que le résultat du vote sera en sa faveur.

J'ai bien hâte de voir cela!
Il est vrai que le site web (ainsi que la LEM virtuelle) a changé de technologie depuis deux ans, est-ce une des réalisations de la FQSÉ depuis les deux dernières années? (une blague, Pierre...)
C'est juste plate que la FQSÉ ne soit pas plus "transparente" et que seulement son seul membre peut voir et donner ces commentaires aux objectifs 2008-2009 de l'organisation.
Faudrait être plus "transparent" si tu veux rallier des gens "à ta cause", Pierre!
On peut poster dès que le compte est approuvé. Il y a déjà un message sur le forum en provenance d'un utilisateur normal. En théorie, vous devriez avoir accès en écriture en cliquant sur le forum.

Ma première réflexion est encore du bla, bla, bla. J'avoue que je suis méchant envers toi. Mais tes éternelles chicanes contre tous les moulins à vent, me saoule.
Pourquoi le monde ne se rallie pas avec toi?
Je crois que tu devrais vraiment te poser la question.
