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.

  • Racism at it's worst!

    We all live in different countries and many of us have lived in more then one. What would you say was the worst case of racism you've ever witnessed? I am especially asking all our Turkish brothers and sisters here . In Turkey I'm sure this can be seen often (maybe I'm wrong, I don't know) and through this thread I hope to keep people in general informed. We don't all live in Turkey. Remember that this thread is based on racism, not neccessarily turkish racism alone but please let's stay on point. It sometimes get's dull reading threads filled with posts sometimes not related to the thread whatsoever (I hope no one takes this in the wrong way).

    I lived in Germany in the 80s & 90s, neo-nazis became very active after the fall of the Berlin Wall, there were very many racist attacks against turks and kurds, a daily occurence. The worst was a fire started by skinheads on a hostel housing turkish families.

      That's really sad, thanks for sharing Steph. In India, some of the racism between Hindu's and Muslims is really indescribable. In the past, you could see Muslims chasing down Hindu's, I'm talking before 1950 but even now there is LOT'S of racism. This racism has plagued the entire world, it's like grass for God sakes. It grows everywhere.

        When i went Chicago, last month a policeman in airport called me "Hey black-ass Muslim! Why cant you see a simple" silently after i passed x-ray device. Even it didnt beep, he made me pass more than five times and delayed etc etc.

        In Turkey, it is so strange that if the subject is not political, everybody seems very friendly in surface. But only in surface!

          Now that's racism. Most in America look at all muslims as if they are terrorists after the bombings and all. It's funny but very sad at the same time. We're here trying to stop racism and in other parts of the world, it's starting to spread it's joy around. Hope you weren't too offended bro.

            Personal experience

            I went to a school not very tolerant towards differants races and ethnicities, my best friend since 2nd grade is Irish, I'm mixed Mexican and Irish. Well we both got flack, but because I'm not white, I got messed up so bad I lost most of the use of my left eye by a bunch of guys in my class

              Damn, I'm sorry bro. In Azerbaijan, for example, this goes on everyday. An Azeri guy actually ran away from the military, coming to Armenia because the military was so cruel there. That had nothing much to do with racism but real racism revolves around that country, or maybe it's the other way around. I just wanted you to get an idea of what it's like. Pedro, when is your ISP going to be fixed properly?

                That's awful! Racism and brutality begin at home. It makes me wonder how ignorant, hateful, morally bankrupt their families were. I can never understand why someone would want to attack someone else because they come from a different culture.

                I would say that you'll have your revenge, and it will be achieved by being smarter and more successful than them; I can't imagine them ever making anything of their lives.

                    Well in NZ people get along by not talking about their circumstances and their political views, people find it easy just to talk about NZ and live in now. I think there is racism in the home, but it rarely turns public.
