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.

    Here's a YouTube link to a news story that runs 4 minutes & 44 seconds. It's rare footage of the Consul General of Turkey, shot a few days ago. The video was shot, not him. Below the link, is a News Release sent to English-language Armenian-American newspapers. The attached picture is of Hakan Tekin.

    TURKISH DIPLOMAT SAYS BARACK OBAMA

    WILL FLIP-FLOP ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE


    Globalist Films News Release Contact: Peter Musurlian
    Monday, June 16, 2008 (818) 500-1234

    CLAREMONT, CALIFORNIA -- Hakan Tekin, Los Angeles-based Consul General of Turkey, brought his disinformation campaign to Claremont Graduate University on Tuesday, June 10, speaking to a group of about 40 graduate students.

    The polite academic setting was tailor-made for Tekin's more outrageous comments to go unchallenged. The students seemed to give him the benefit of the doubt regarding Armenian issues, very likely because the non-Armenian audience was understandably not up to speed on the facts; A fact Tekin exploited.

    Tekin talked about "the Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani land." He additionally commented on "futile attempts" to get Armenia to agree to a joint committee to study the Armenian Genocide and how "Armenia must unequivically recognize Turkey's territorial integrity."

    When asked about the race for U.S. President, Tekin suggested that Barack Obama would be ahead in the polls in Turkey, if such a poll could be taken, even though Obama has made the most emphatic statement about genocide recognition.
    Tekin expects Obama to wimp out and fall in line.

    "I would just remind you," Tekin boasted, "that the last three Presidents of the United States, they also had similar statements during the elections, but when they came to the power, they saw that things were not as it is being presented."

    If you would like to see a five-minute news story on the lecture, simply go to www.YouTube.com and search for either "Musurlian" or "301AD."

    To contact Peter Musurlian, who videotaped Tekin in Claremont, e-mail him at: peter[at]globalistfilms[dot]com.
