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.

    You're right about that, it is pretty disrespectful, but not nearly as disrespectful as going around with the turkish flag for some kind of joke.

      I shouldn't have put it like that. I meant that it's not at all uncommon to see that happen, but out of thousands of people at the march, it's a pretty small fraction.

          I never said that. And it's more than just a simple flag to Armenians when it's on April 24th. That flag repesents a lot of pain and suffering for Armenians. You know that. Why don't you do neither? I'm not saying I like any of those fake wannabe "gangstas", but I don't know why you feel you should try so hard to piss them off. Where does that get you and where does that get them? What does it accomplish? And what about all the other Armenian people who don't fit into the "gangsta" stereotype, you would be really pissing them off as well.

            Just out of curiosity, leo, which would you rather do? The rap music or the flag?

              Oh yes...brilliant logic Ducati. People act dumb at those demonstrations, so you should attempt to act even dumber. What part of that is well said Dan? I really fail to understand.

              If all you want to do is get a rise out of all the Armenians who are going there to protest the genocide, and feel that going around with the turkish flag is really hilarious and that your friends will find you real cool, you are worse than the idiots who at least have some right intentions. You're just an idiot. You're not only going to get a rise out of the people you dislike, you're simply insulting the memory of your own ancestors who fell victim to that flag, and all their children and grand children who are out there protesting the injustice they lived.

              April 24 is definitely not about which Armenian sub-culture can piss the other one off more effectively. If that's the most meaningful thing you found to do, it's a shame, really.

                Hey Baron, this might sound really offensive to some if not most/all, but I would rather walk around with a Turkish flag than turn on rap music like it's some sort of parade.... It's the lesser of two evils. I never said carrying the Turkish flag is the right thing to do. Just the lesser of two evils.

                April 24 is definitely not about which Armenian sub-culture can piss the other one off more effectively. If that's the most meaningful thing you found to do, it's a shame, really.
                Last I checked, it wasn't about showing off your car either or turning on black music for that matter...

                  I'd rather people take April 24 to do what they feel is right to commemorate the memory of their ancestors. If the best idea you came up with is making some joke out of it and provoking fights, then you are just an insult to anything Armenian. And I don't care if the rap lovers are insults too. If your priority on April 24 is those rap-lovers, you would be just as big a problem. At least they, in their confused little way, have dedicated this day to our common cause. What would you have dedicated it to?

                    But why is that YOUR priority????
                    Is b!tching in style this year???
                    If April 24 does not evoke any other feelings in you except "akh, all those black loving armos will show up again", then, I repeat, you also have a huge problem.

                      It's my priority for the same reason it's your priority to call those who would hypothetically show up with a Turkish flag, idiots. I don't care if black-loving Armenians show up, as long as they don't turn on rap music. Or any other type of music for that matter, unless it's relevant to the theme of April 24... If they want to listen to rap, they can do it at home or while driving around in the cars their mommies bought them. I would rather NOT have their "support" than have them come and turn on their radios like it's some kind of a parade. And I never said I would show up with a Turkish flag. I never would. But if I had to choose, I would go with the Turkish flag.

                      Besides, what's the HUGE deal about taking a Turkish flag? True, the country has perpetrated the genocide, and the government keeps on denying it, but aren't there many Turkish Armenians out there? Why can YOU take a Canadian flag with you (and many people did even before the government recognized the genocide), whereas it's wrong for people to take the Turkish flag with them? What if some people are proud of being born in Turkey despite the denial of the government (similar to USA, Canada [until the recognition])?
