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.

    Take these opinions as what they are, individual opinions.

    The rest of you... WTF? Someone comes here to learn more about their Armenian background and history and instead of being supportive that she has chosen to do so, you want to cut her off at the knees. Instead you send messages like 'it's too late for you'? I don't care when a person does it... if you, at any point in your life, decide to learn more about your culture and heritage, then that's a cause for praise. That's a person who is not lost. Those who are lost are those who aren't in touch with their Armenian roots, don't know or don't care, and do nothing to remedy it.
    What I have said about identity is not an opinion, rather a more-or-less universally accepted definition of identity. People can often be confused and other around them not tell them the direct truth. I just want to make sure that this user here is facing reality upon her endeavours, so she doesn't take false paths and be hurt as a result. Sometimes, you simply need to show the cold water.

      I am from a mixed fam and didn't grow up as Armenian as I would have liked (after all, it is a pretty cool heritage, you gotta admin, with our history and stuff) and never had the chance to be around a large, loud Armenian community until almost the end of college (and still don't live near one). I am looking to learn more about being Armenian instead of just American.

      Ok, you can all congratulate my on my awesome heritage or just serve lokum instead. Your choice, but I'm leaning toward the food myself.

      Congrats on your awesome heritage and welcome to the forum Hyegirl. You gonna like being Armenian.....don't get discouraged.

          Mos, you made your point several times already; why do you keep harping on it? What is your purpose in continuing to hound the girl in her introduction thread? Are you trying to chase people off right from "Hello"?

            I was just asking Eddo a question. And I am not hounding her, just was making sure she goes into all of this with the correct mindset.

              Well, we're going to ostracize real Armenians because they are too Armenian and then give their title to anyone that wants to join.
