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.

    Re: Racism at it's worst!

    Hey thanks guys.
    You learn to deal with racism, back then I couldn't do much, now people generally don't start with me, one being that I am not easily intimidated, two very few people can do that sort of stuff in everyday situations, three I now know how to fight back and four I can sue their pants off

    But yeah, it was pretty bad for me and my eyesight acts up sometimes,
    but you know you learn and get stronger, plus most of those guys today
    live like bums so, the best revenge is living well.

      Re: Racism at it's worst!

      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.
      You would not meet much racism at Turkey but nationalism is a little different.

      In Turkey, it is so strange that if the subject is not political, everybody seems very friendly in surface. But only in surface!
      This guy is right. If You had not a political discusion, You would not meet much nationalism too.

        I unfortunately also have to agree with this statement. My father, who was born in a small village in western Anatolia, made his way to America and recently married a Musevi-American (Musevi as in, a follower of Moses. The other term seems to be censored in this forum)They came together to Turkey recently and were treated very politially and even warmly by my relatives. She slept in their houses and ate their food and even learned some Turkish.

        After she left, my aunt and I got into an argument over her, and in the heated exchange called my step-mom "Gavur"

        I was really broken by that. I couldn't even argue with her, cause i knew she tried her to best to hid such sentiments, but they were still there. My whole family is very progressive, but at least the older generation of kemalists have inherited some elements of racism.

          I don't know what to say Egeli. I hope racism becomes something you read in books alone in the future.
          THE ROAD TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IS A LONG ONE!
