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.

    Hi

    I feel like that i'm not welcomed here and I'm hated here.

    Is that true?

    Just because you allege to be a Turk? No, that's not true. Nobody hates Turkish people here. What we don't like are people who deny the Armenian Genocide knowing that they are wrong.

          Denial of "genocide"

          Why is the denial of "genocide" a very important prerequisite for talking? Why can't we just speak without some preconditions? Where is the open-mindedness, freedom of speech?

          Refusing to talk, is that going to come up with a solution, I do argue..


          [Btw I am not of Turkish origin but a citizen of Turkey and has not been "Turkified" with your words.]

            Depends on how you talk really

            Dia dhuit (hello in Gaelinn for those curious )

            If you are going to debate it without becoming anti Armenian and racist like dear Murad, you will be fine generally. Lots of Turkish people have come to this website. Sorry if I sound rude when saying no genocide denial, but usually the guys who debate on other website slander Armenians (once again like Murad and TAT).

            However just keep this in mind, in alot of places it is a crime to deny the Holocaust, which most people agree is racist as it calls Jews liars. I ask you if it is a crime to deny the Holocaust, shouldn't it be to deny the Genocide?

            And I am not of Armenian origin, I'm half Mex Indian half Scotch-Irish Celt.

              I'm sure you read the rules of the forum, before joining, right? So you must have known that denying the Armenian Genocide will get you banned. Of course you did.

              Is this forum democratic? It's certainly not. Like I have written several times before, the purpose of this website is not to function as a public forum between two sides to discuss the validity of the Armenian Genocide, it's for Armenians to discuss the Genocide and a clearinghouse for information related to the subject.

              We welcome others to join, drop-in, etc. but would rather do without the trolling and believe me, everything you'll no doubt write and say, we've heard over and over again so there's nothing new. If you're dissapointed with our website, fine, then you you can leave. If I join a Turkish forum and do not like what I see, I can leave. It's that simple. Furthermore, I seriously doubt my presence or any other Armenian's presence on such a forum talking about the Armenian Genocide would endear us to the Turkish members. Don't you agree?

              Something to think about.

              As far as changing anyone's mind regarding the issue, I agree with you; it won't happen here. So what was your point in joining in the first place?

                Check out his post carefully

                He didn't come in with good intentions, the very way he wrote genocide with ""s, already revealed his thoughts on the matter. I do not believe for one moment he came here to chat about anything much else (this forum is about the genocide after all) and instead of asking why it is called a genocide, he came in with his own preconditions, mainly to come here to try and disprove instead of hearing the otherside (that being the Armenian) viewpoint. Not very fair or democratic to begin with.

                My point has always been if it is a crime to deny the holocaust (as it well should be), it should be to deny the Armenian Genocide. It is even worse to come to a board and directly call it a lie. Imagine for one moment this was a Holocaust remembrance site and a Nazi or white supremist came in and denied the holocaust, it would cause uproar. It is important to remember if the genocide was acknowledged, alot of the Nazi action could have been prevented.

                If he wants evidence, I have read previous articles here and there is an archive of information here and more added daily. I am of the belief he merely came here to start an argument
