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 am currently in Istanbul, and was about 2 miles from where Hrank Dink was murdered. As of 7 pm Turkish time now, there are about 1500 people who are keeping vigil and shouting slogans in front of Agos newspaper's office, where Hrant Dink was chief editor.

    I am short of any words and sentences which can describe my feelings. Suffice it that I say that I am a proud Turk, but today I sincerely endorse the slogan which is still being shouted where Dink was cowardly murdered:

    "Bugun hepimiz Hrant Dink'iz, bugun hepimiz Ermeniyiz" (Today, we are all Hrant Dink, today we are all Armenians)

        As a Turk, beyond my deep sorrow, I am ashamed that someone did this to such a peaceful person living and working for Turkey. I condemn this brutal murder, and I state my condolence to all Armenians living in Turkey and abroad.

        I hope his murderer(s) will be caught as soon as possible.

            Helen,

            Hrant Dink was a good, honest, and courageous man, a good Turk, and a good Armenian.

            Complimenting and honoring him in this way is the least we can do.

              Police arrested two people in connection with Dink's death, NTV television reported. Police believe a male aged 18 or 19 may have killed him, CNN Turk television reported citing unidentified police officials.

                Today is a black day, Hrant Dink did not deserve in any means getting killed. I feel ashamed for the idiot's act of murder. I hope his killers will be found soon. There is not much to be said, I am sorry.

                    I'm on a vacation with my family and literally just learned about this incident 30 minutes ago from CNN.
                    This is depressing but some good may come out of this one day. It could somehow lead to a backlash against the rising ultranationalists in Turkey...which I believe is good for all Turkish citizens regardless of ethnicity. It may lead to a further breaking of all taboos as well.
