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.

    To AG admin-

    I thought a thread should be dedicated to telling the site admin what we think about the site. Whether you are Armenian, Turk, or just someone who came to learn more, I think this site is mutually beneficial to all of us. It doesn't matter what your position is on the topic when it comes to what purpose the site is serving us, and I hope you all agree with me that it is great. We are all here to post our stories, opinions, facts, and questions and I think it is great that there is an active dialogue between all of us. There are a lot of people on the site I don't agree with, a lot that I do, but the point is for us to all get to know what the other thinks about this topic. I doubt the site will change any opinions about these topics, and I am sure the site admin knows that, but I think the point is for us to try to listen and understand another’s perspective whether or not we agree with it. There is a flip side to that coin: in any debate facts must be presented. I call on both sides, Turkish and Armenian to present more facts when debating these topics. I don't think opinion goes as far in trying to make someone understand your position. If you can quote a book or document, or any other source related to the claim, you should do so - far more often than either side is doing currently on this site. Other than that, I see healthy topics, healthy debates, and say to all of you, keep up the great work!

    To the Admin, I say "hats off to you" for putting this thing together, for maintaining it, and bringing people together from all walks of life to learn more about and discuss this topic. It seems to me that this is the first site of it's kind, and it is about time someone was innovative enough to come up with it. I think I speak for the community when I say we have been waiting for this dialogue for a long time, and it wasn't the Armenian .orgs, or the church, or the republic that brought it to us, it was ArmenianGenocide.com! I appreciate your hard work, and the investment you have made in this site. I hope the rest of you who visit this thread, join me in letting the Admin know what a fine job they are doing.
