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.

    Kocharian Will Not Extend State of Emergency, Says Presidential Spokesman

    EREVAN (Combined)--The state of emergency established in Armenia on March 1 has not been violated and will not be extended beyond Thursday, Armenian Presidential Spokesman Viktor Soghomonian told a press conference on Monday.
    According to Soghomonian, the restrictions on the media were only temporary and have been considerably eased since the president's decree was made.
    Soghomonian also commented on US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Mathew Bryza's condemnation of the Armenian authorities last week. The presidential aid told reporters that Bryza's remarks came as a shock.
    The American diplomats harsh criticism of the government's handling of the post-election situation in Armenia was contrary to what he told President Robert Kocharian during private talks days before, Soghomonian explained.
    "We defend democracy and we do not endanger the democratic values," Viktor Soghomonian stressed.
    In other related news, former President Levon Ter-Petrosian and his opposition allies met Monday to discuss their course of action following an end to emergency rule Thursday.
    Ter-Petrosian's office said the former president will continue to strive for regime change in Armenia by "legal and democratic means."
    His office also said that participants of the weekend meeting reaffirmed their determination "to fight against the kleptocratic system."
    "All leaders of the [pro-Ter-Petrosian opposition] parties noted that the public is determined to get rid of the current authorities by legal and democratic means," it said in a short statement. No further details were reported.
    Soghomonian also discussed with reporters last week's developments in the United Nations.
