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.

Tigranakert is right with his comment that Turkic people voted for it since Turkey was out. Turkey takes a ton of votes each year, effectively splitting the Turkic community in Europe.
    Not to mention the large Muslim community in Europe, remember Turkey wasn't in the finals....

                Most Europeans liked the song, otherwise it wouldn't have won the prize. I'm aware Azerbaijan spent exorbitant amounts of money on the choreography and production -- I didn't know about the vote-buying, though.

                If Armenia truly wants to piss off Azerbaijan next year, they can arrange it so that the final votes are announced from Stepanakert rather than Yerevan.

                  If the European Union wants, it could force/put pressure Eurovision to ban Azerbaijan from the competition due to its human rights issues. But let's forget that, why the fuk wasn't Azerbaijan punished for voter fraud and voter intimidation? It shows the state of Europe in general. Your question also assumes that average Europeans really voted for Azerbaijan when it is very apparent the song was weak judging from the reaction i'm seeing all over the Net...

                    Well, I doubt that will happen, because I doubt Eurovision wants to be portrayed in a 'political' light. Remember, the Junior Eurovision was hosted in Belarus just fine, and that country is at par or even worse than Azerbaijan. (and we won it actually).

                    So are you saying that there was fraud in favour of Azerbaijan? Some reactions on the net doesn't prove that at all. Remember, you have a large Turkish/Muslim population in Europe, and you have Azerbaijan tirelessly working to get the perfect song and rally its diaspora/supporters to vote.

                      Yes exactly, Belarus is another reason why Europe is a joke. But let's stay away from politics sure and concentrate how Azerbaijan put politics into play with their voter intimidation, breaking the contest's rules and suffering no consequences other than a tap on the wrist.

                      No, fraud has to be proven like in 2009. I'm claiming the second part of your statement which does not equate to Europeans (-Turks) voting.
