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.

    'Pope visit threat' - six remain in custody

    Pope Benedict and security guards Security for the Pope has been tight during his state visit to Britain Six men remain in custody after being held for questioning by anti-terrorism officers investigating a potential threat against the Pope's visit.

    Searches conducted as part of the investigation have finished without the discovery of anything significant. The Metropolitan Police says it searched both residential and commercial properties.

    The six - who all work as street cleaners in Westminster - were arrested in the capital on Friday. They are employed by Veolia Environment Services, a cleaning company contracted by Westminster Council.

    At least five of the men are not British nationals. Most are thought to be Algerian.

    The six - who are all arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism - are aged between 26 and 50.

    Armed officers arrested the first five at the company's Chiltern Street depot in west London as they were preparing to start their shifts. A sixth was later taken into custody.

    In a statement from Scotland Yard, the Metropolitan Police said the men had been arrested in an operation under the Terrorism Act 2000 by officers from the force's Counter-Terrorism Command.

    Charming crowd aren't they.

    A security source said last night: “We had to act and arrest them. We had reasonable grounds to suspect they would carry out an attack.

    “We could not take the risk that they would mount an attack on the Pope which might lead to his death and the deaths of many others.”

    "An investigation is also under way to determine if the foreign nationals had entered Britain legally and were entitled to work here."

    "The alleged plot is believed to be the second planned assassination on the Pope recently. In April, Moroccan students Mohamed Hlal, 26, and Ahmed Errahmouni, 22, were deported from Italy, strengthening fears that Al Qaeda were seeking recruits there."

Ils auraient ainsi été arrętés sur le seul témoignage d'un autre individu ayant surpris une conversation ambigüe de ces hommes employés au nettoyage de la voirie.

      everyone knows how this works. big headlines that will make a lasting impression, a correction a few days later (in small print) when no one is no longer paying attention.

      do you get paid for relaying this propaganda?

                Ian Mckellen is to coin the cockney phrase. As bent as a nine bob note!

                    For some reason Liberal secularists like this guy dislike the pope.

                    These guys are protesting against the Pope because of the Catholics overlooking abuse of children by paedophile priests.
                    Ironic really as this very same group are lobbying for the age of consensual homosexual sex to be taken down to 14 years of age and even 12 years for more developed children!
                    Somehow I doubt many 14 yr old boys are helping with the lobbying.
