Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      I saw that petition on the main site http://www.petitiononline.com

      They managed to get 10,000 signatures. I noticed that there are many people signing the petition more than once with comments like "Armenian killed thousands of turks."

          Latest news is that PBS has decided not to air the original documentary AT ALL.

          Instead, it will be airing 2 other Armenian Genocide documentaries.

                Here's where I read it: http://groong.usc.edu/news/msg138601.html

                I haven't heard about it otherwise, so I guess it hasn't been confirmed, but that's what the article says.

                    I think that's just KCET in LA. I looked on http://www.thepetitionsite.com/ to see if there is also a petition there, but didn't find one.



                    "February 23, 2006

                    (Los Angeles) -- KCET will present the U.S. broadcast premiere of “Le Genocide Armenien” (“The Armenian Genocide”) by acclaimed French documentary filmmaker Laurence Jourdan. KCET currently has the exclusive broadcast rights to this film. The English-voiceover documentary premieres Monday, April 17 (10:00 – 11:00 p.m.) .

                    "It was a tremendous coup for KCET to acquire this film, as ‘Le Genocide Armenian’ received wide acclaim in Europe. The film is respectful of the Armenian history while being illustrative of events which took place prior to World War I and might be less familiar to our broad viewing audience,” said Mary Mazur, KCET executive vice president, programming and production. “We are pleased to begin a collaboration with Jourdan, whose depth of content is impeccable." She added, “KCET enjoys a strong relationship with the Armenian community in Southern California and has broadcast programs over the years of particular interest to this audience."

                    Laurence Jourdan has tackled many geopolitical and historical issues with documentaries including “The Milosevic Nightmare,” “Golan: The Story of an Occupation” and “The Forgotten People of the Ho Chi-Minh Road,” among others

                    . During April, which is designated as Armenian Remembrance Month, KCET will also re-broadcast the popular documentary "My Son Shall be Armenian," directed by Hagop Goudsouzian, which originally aired in April 2004. The documentary was well received and the station had many requests for a second run.

                    KCET, PBS’ West Coast flagship station, has garnered hundreds of awards over its 40-year history for its national drama and documentary productions, its local and regional news and public affairs programming and its quality educational children’s productions.

                    Additional information about KCET can be found at www.KCET.org."
