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'm laughing to hard to even comment - though not much (really historical or dealing with any real truth) to comment on...

      A comment which reveals how backward Turkish society still is - it has not moved much further on from the ideals of the warrior-hordes at its origin.

      The key ingredients of nation-building (and war) are to have leaders that have a realistic appreciation of the way things are, an educated and hard-working population, prompt in its payment of taxes yet always ready to safeguard its individual rights, flourishing industrial complexes backed up by a flourishing academic world, and the whole setup run by an honest, diligent and non-partisan civil service.

        Bell_the_cat, your assumptions are not the prevalent reality, but "IDEALS". I would love to have exactly the IDEALS that you have written in your post. Are they attainable? Have they been attained by anyone, YET?
        Your idealistic approach has the key AXIOM "Average citizens of nations are all capable of making constant rational decisions, because they are all fed PERFECT-INFORMATION". I borrow the term "perfect-information" from Macro-Economics, mind you.
        However, in reality, ruling-elites of all nations are a small minority, with close to perfect-information, however, through ever increasing manipulation of media (TV, newspapers, movies), they convey to the general public only the views that favor them.

        NOW, how do you get our ideal society and rational choices by the public?????

          The first step in attaining them is wanting them. They certainly won't be attained by any country (or ethnic group, or political party, or business, or religion, etc.) that believes the most important thing is to have "successful and charismatic leaders".

          I know enough about Turkey to know that Turks have plenty of cynical realism about their leaders - yet the population still often prefers to take the easy route and go along with the demagogues and rabble-rousers.

            Let me give you my opinion: If the Young Turks movement of early 20th century lived in Turkey today, the only decision about those YTurk leaders would be to whether
            (a) Imprison them for life in Imra island together with Abdullah OCalan, the PKK terrorist leader (only because we do not have the death penalty in TR)
            (b) Deport them to jail/prison in Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan, where they could dream their aggressive pan-turkist approach forever

            I feel exactly the same way about our current leader, the Islamist leader, under the disguise of nice and lovely Europe-Turkey bridge builder, the uncanny Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
