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.

    An attack was made on an ethnic Greek journalist who runs a minority newspaper in Turkey.

    Andreas Rombopulos, who runs the newspaper Iho, or Echo, was attacked and beaten by two people outside the paper's offices in the city center. He was being treated at a local hospital for head and arm injuries, but was not in a life-threatening condition, authorities said.

    Istanbul is home to a dwindling Greek minority of about 3,000 people, down from an estimated million at the turn of the century.

    Greek Foreign Ministry spokesman Giorgos Koumoutsakos said Rombopulos was "brutally attacked."

    "At a time when efforts are being made and steps are being taken to further improve and reinforce relations between the two countries, some people, with their unacceptable and criminal acts, are trying to create obstacles," Koumoutsakos said. "They will not succeed."

    "We unreservedly condemn them," Koumoutsakos said, adding that Greece expected Turkish authorities to arrest and try the perpetrators and to take measures so that such attacks are not repeated.

    In January, ethnic Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was shot dead in front of his newspaper's office in a brazen daylight attack that prompted international condemnation and debate within Turkey about free speech.

    Traditional rivals Greece and Turkey have been improving ties recently. On Tuesday, they announced they were expanding military cooperation as part of new confidence-building measures. Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis is expected to visit to Turkey in the near future for what would be the first official visit by a Greek premier in 48 years.
