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.

    They do. They don't want to talk about it in your Turkish country. Using the term Genocide in public is a crime in Turkey. So it makes sense that they remain silent about it, doesn't it?

    My parents visited Turkey some 15+ years ago. They went to an Armenian church and they said there were a bunch of little kids running around in the back yard of the church and couldn't tell if they were Armenian or Turkish. Obviously they were Armenian, but they were all speaking Turkish. They had a conversation with a couple of their parents, and they said they themselves never learned Armenian because it was illegal after the genocide to speak Armenian and their parents were way too scared to speak the langugae or teach it to their children!! Sad, isn't it?

    Also, from what we've seem from you in this forum, I'm sure your friends are scared to even remember the 1915 when you're around.

      Given the current maturity of your third-world society I doubt if I was an Armenian in Istanbul I would want to use the word "Genocide" either when questioned by ignorant, nationalist, extremist Turks...

        Kemal, I'm an Armenian from Istanbul, and I'm telling you IT WAS GENOCIDE! Anladin mi? Istersen Turkce soyliyeyim sana: SOYKIRIM! Bundan daha basit bir sey olamaz.

        What do you expect Armenians living in Turkey to say? Look at Hrant Dink, a Turkish Armenian. He didn't even say anything about the G word, and he still got prosecuted and convicted of the crime of insulting the Turkish people. I have lots of Turkish Armenian friends and relatives who want to just get on with their lives and forget about these issues, but when you ask them what they really think it was, they say, of course it was a Genocide, we're not stupid. But they'd rather let bygones be bygones and live their happy lives without getting hastled. Is that so hard to understand.

          Make it second by the way. At the beggining of this year as far as I know Turkey has been rated second-world country.

            "All truth passes through three stages:
            First, it is ridiculed;
            Second, it is violently opposed; and
            Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

            Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

              I was referring to the mentality of Turkish society which is to this day, third-world at best...

                  Obviously NOT.

                  Reread what he said, you'll know that. "When questioned by ....." doesn't equal "All Turks are ..... ", right ?!
