sağaltım is really a term for intellectuals. It has been a long time since I have heard this word.

It's a shame that we have lost the translation for "Bir harmanım bu akşam".

If anybody has my translation please send it to me. I have no idea how it was deleted. It was a difficult translation. I'm already curious how I translated "harmanım" at the time. I tried google cah but it has only the first two messages.
Anyway, I will do the translation again in the future.

I think the thread you mentioned about French music is here. Is it this one?

Meltem,

Congratulations on being a new moderator in our forums. Yesterday, tough we were writing on the same subjects, I was'nt aware of the change. Later on when I saw your name it was too late.
You are really working hard on language related forums.
I have seen you many times doing the longest translation only for a "thank you". It is very nice to have so active peope around. Tebrikler.

Erdem,
Selamlar. It's nice to see you around as well.

These are a few things a moderator should have. Of course it doesnt mean you can be choosen as a moderator if you have these qualifications but it means that you can't be choosen if you don't have them.
1. An intellectual approach on topics
2. Willingness to spend time and efford on forums to help others
3. A trustfull and fair personality
4. The ability to confront a problem and to make a desicion if necessary
5. A good spelling. At least better than these below:

6. A polite and careful language. Of course not something like this:

türkçem b*k gibi
...aptal....
saw dis....ehuehuehu
bi çektir git yaaaaaaaa
abazaaaaaaaaaaaa
gıs yalaka seniiiiiiiiiii
??? (This was a title for a thread)

There is a typo. Dictionary wont work.

" Biri yer biri bakar, kıyamet bundan kopar. "

Yes there was a thread started by me. It was called "Turkish music albums that I like". I don't know how it was deleted. I must have deleted it by mistake. I recently deleted the useless topics in music forum. I didt realise I deleted my own topic as well. What a shame. Anyway there is no need to worry.

We will have Fikret Kızılok and İlhan İrem again in the forums. Now we have many editors in our music forum. We have kept the number big to cover a wider music taste but unfortunetly nobody has posted any article yet. Hopefully our editors are working hard on their texts.

Maybe I will post something soon. The music forums will be better than it was before. It is just a matter or time. Cheers.

Both hugging and talking about hugging is not common among Turkish men.

When two Turkish men are greeting or when they are saying good-bye to each other they might touch cheek to cheek, (first with one side and then with the other side [I never do this by the way]) and afterwards they might hug and lap to each others shoulder. But again, this is not a proper hug. I mean you dont huge a man like you would hug a woman. Assuming a woman is crying or is very upset you hug her and she lets her head down on your shoulder and you hold her with her arms while cuddling and saying "it's OK sweety" or something like that, isn't it?
Anyway, when the men are huging it is just like pretending to hug you dont get too close I think. I'm not sure actually. I don't huge much. Maybe somebody more experienced than me could enlighten us.

I think we dont say "bana kucak ver". If you want to hug somebody you could say:
Let me hug you.
"Gel de sana bir sarılayım"

If you want to be hugged you could say:
"Bana sarılsana."
This last statement would be a girls thing as Turkish men would never say something like that.

Actually the whole concept of hugging is a bit unusual and not so common.
