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.

    I think you are referring to dab/dbachmann. He claims he is Austrian but I have always had my doubts. He is on a long wiki break and was temp banned prior to that.
    For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
    to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

      The Azeri Wiki is just childish, where as the Armenian one is halfassed. but atleast if Armenians barely put info, Armenian put info that isnt formulated in our absurd imaginary visions of the world.

          You can help make the Armenian Wiki better by editing it, fixing things you think are "halfassed". It is relatively new and given the longtime lack of Internet penetration in the country, seems like things have picked up slowly. But the depth ratio of Armenian Wikipedia seems to be much higher than the Azeri and Georgian ones, especially the former that seems to have inflated its article numbers with countless empty articles or articles that are not really of notable people.
          Azerbaboon: 9.000 Google hits and counting!

            Well i think it is in part due to the fact that only Armenians are the ones using Armenian wiki. the most important Wikipedia is the English one which the whole world has access to. i think Armenians should be focused on that one. The Armenian Wiki being "halfassed" or rather lacking in volume is a non-issue. I was merely making a point that the Azerbaijanis are being as said above, childish. Making BS articles on pages NO ONE but them reads, its similar to a personal diary where a kid imagines himself like a superhero.

And if the drugs were made pure, does that excuse the addicts and dealers? Surely the core problem is the existence of the addicts.

              Just as in real life, a lot of the "dealers" find they become "addicts" - most of the readers of obscure articles are limited to those who edit them, and edit war on them, and argue endlessly about their content.
              Well said. Very nice analogy. it seems like an uphill battle but if Armenians are organized they should be able to keep the fabrications at bay.

                Wikipedia's uniqueness is that it is the world's most efficient distributer of propaganda to the world's most hungry consumers and redistributers of propaganda (journalists and students). Editing Wikipedia is not really about knowing what is true and what is false, it is about playing the game and knowing how to exploit the rules. However, the hands-on editing of Wikipedia articles is actually a side issue for groups / nations engaged in producing Wikipedia propaganda. Producing citable material to justify the lies and distortions contained in Wikipedia articles is the main goal of a good propagandist, and NOT the actual writing of the articles.

                  İşğalı altında olan və faunası məhv edilmiş ərazilər
                  In the Fauna section of the Azerbaijani Wikipedia article on the Republic of Azerbaijan:
                  "Regions under occupation and whose fauna has been destroyed" (referring to the territory of Artsakh)


                  ~

                  Right. Last time I went to Artsakh, the fauna seemed fine to me. Ironically, the only damage to fauna in Artsakh come from the mines planted by the Azerbaijanis.
