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.

      Yeah, me too. I don't think the skinheads will touch them, because Armenians are not percieved as middle eastern. We might have some influences and commonalities, but (I hope) one will not think of Armos as Arabs. Middle Easterners won't touch Armos because we are immigrants in Australia as well and not really part of the rich elite class (more like the working middle class).

      But it is interesting that the chair of the community relations committee quoted in the report is Armenian. There have been very few racial tensions on a big scale involving the minority Armenians and the majority in the country. Jut it down to years of experience Armenians have had living as "pandukhts" in foreign lands.

          Hi guys thought I'd write a few words just to say that we are OK. Ari will be ok for sure since he is in Melbourne, although wouldn't be surprised if something started there.
          The riots began about a week ago now, yep and the usual hang out of mine. I live in the Northern beaches area so it’s not too close to home. My friends’ car got destroyed 2 nights ago outside his apartment block.

          More riots are expected as there is now a sms going out urging all the Lebanese Australians to fight back on the 18th or the 20th (can’t remember).

          And Karo jan, we don’t really look Arab, but they don’t really care, anyone with dark features is being attacked, just like the Italian guy who got attacked 2 days ago. Rioters were even attacking police who looked somewhat Lebanese or European.

          What an embarrassment to Australia.

          Thanks for the concerns though this means no more trips to the Eastern suburbs for a while.

            From what I read, what sparked this was apparently some Lebanese youths that killed some Australian lifeguards.

              oh yea, Armenians carried out a demonstration last friday as Turkey's prime minister was visiting Australia to talk about trade. At the same time, there were somewhat 50 turkish people in town trying to welcome their hero.

                Well about a week ago, a group of Middle Eastern guys attacked 3 lifeguards at Cronulla Beach. And the local residence (who happen to be mainly English/Australians) were outraged claiming police were not doing enough. They organised a demonstration (via sms) which turned into a disaster due to Alcohol being involved.

                  It's like, "Hey Gallipoli was great, how about we increase trade?"

                    It's funny that Lebanese folk are being targetted, especially since the governor of New South Wales, Marie Bashir, is Lebanese.
