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.

    Germany expands Holocaust reparation

    The Jerusalem Post
    May 19, 2005

    The German government has recognized Jews held in labor camps in Africa
    as a new category of Holocaust survivor eligible for compensation
    payments, the Jewish Claims Conference said Thursday.

    The German government also agreed to provide US $11.5 million to help
    provide home care for increasingly elderly Holocaust survivors. Last
    year it paid 6 million for the purpose, which was allocated to 43
    agencies serving Jewish victims in 17 countries, the organization said.

    According to the deal worked out with the German Finance Ministry,
    Jews held for at least six months in certain labor camps in Tunisia,
    Morocco, Algeria, and also in Hungary, are now eligible for payments
    from the Finance Ministry's pension program fund, providing they also
    meet the other German requirements.

    The Finance Ministry did not immediately return calls for comment on
    the agreement.

    The Claims Conference, which represents Jews around the world in
    negotiating for compensation and restitution for Nazi persecution,
    said in a statement that it would continue to press for the inclusion
    of other categories of survivors into compensation programs. Those
    include Jews who were in forced military labor battalions and "in
    concentration camps not currently recognized as such by Germany."

    During the negotiations, the German government also agreed to increase
    the amounts paid to recipients of the pension program who live in new
    European Union countries to recognize their increased cost of living.

    Under the new scheme, recipients in Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic,
    Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia will now get 175
    (US$222) monthly, up from 135 (US$171).
