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.

    GREEK AMERICANS CALL FOR ARMENIAN GENOCIDE REPARATIONS

    WASHINGTON, DC - The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA)
    has expressed the appreciation of the Armenian American community
    to the American Hellenic Institute and the leading Greek American
    membership organizations for their principled stand in favor of
    Turkish compensation for the Armenian Genocide.

    American Hellenic Institute president Gene Rossides, in a public
    statement issued today, called for Armenian Genocide reparations as
    part of a policy statement on "Compensation to Turkey's Victims,"
    prepared by the American Hellenic Institute. The policy statement
    has been endorsed by the major Greek American membership groups:
    the Order of AHEPA, Hellenic American National Council, Cyprus
    Federation of America, Panepirotic Federation of America, Pan-
    Macedonian Association of America, Evrytanian Association of America
    and American Hellenic Institute.

    "We want to extend our appreciation to Eugene Rossides, the American
    Hellenic Institute, and all the leading Greek American groups for
    their clearly articulated and principled demand that Turkey compensate
    the Armenian nation for the Armenian Genocide," said ANCA Executive
    Director Aram Hamparian. "We join with our Greek American friends in
    calling on our government to press Turkey to ensure a just resolution
    of this crime and an equitable settlement of all of Turkey's offenses
    against Greeks and Armenians."

    In addition to seeking Turkish government compensation for the
    Armenian Genocide, the Greek American leadership calls for Turkish
    compensation to the 1) the victims of Turkey's illegal invasion of
    Cyprus of 1974; 2) the owners of property in Cyprus illegally taken,
    occupied and used by the Turkish authorities and individuals since
    1974; 3) the victims of the September 1955 Turkish pogrom against its
    Greek citizens in Istanbul; 4) the victims of the Turkish genocide
    against the Pontian Greeks in the 1920's, and; 5) the victims of
    the Turkish massacre of the Greek and Armenian populations of Smyrna
    (now Izmir) in 1922 under Kemal Ataturk's orders.

    In calling on "the U.S. government to press Turkey to pay
    compensation," the Greek American leadership cited "the compensation
    paid by the government of Germany to Holocaust victims and to the
    state of Israel and the government of Japan to the victims of its
    actions in Asia before and during World War II."
