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.

    Haha, they were close to being normal, sticking together for 16 years because "good Armenians stay married" even though they ruined eachother's lives.

      Fortunately or unfortunately the above is a true statement in most respects.

        American culture encourages this type of thing, and I don't think it's that uncommon for an Armenian's parents to be divorced (at least in America).

          Sorry to hear that Yerazhishd, Pepsi and Jgk3. Even though some Armenians divorce in America also; but I think to a much lesser degree. I believe that couples should try very hard to stick together also for the children's sake. Though "patsaroutyunnere harkeli en"; which means there are some very sad and very destructive circumstances that parents should divorce when their union becomes very destructive and unbearable for them and for their offsprings.

            yeah, I agree Anoush. But you know, so long as the children still find respect for both their parents, I consider the parents to have succeeded. I respect my parents (even though they will sometimes beg to differ to this claim of mine, haha) and can get on with both of them. I know some people who's parents are still married but are hard to respect as they are keeping to mindsets which lead to abuse (whether towards themselves or to their "loved ones"), dishonestly, keeping a defeatist attitude towards their life's dreams or goals, etc... These kinds of behaviors found in a household are hardly good examples, these are failed role models in my eyes for the children, who's only chance is to outgrow their parents someday and "become their parents".

            In my eyes, the above situation is a greater mark of family dysfunction than the mere condition of having divorced parents.

              The better successful marriage counselors or psychoanalysts would agree with your thoughts above, and in this case the good old Armenian way of not divorcing under any circumstances is not the right way. Children also need a saner, happier and a more thriving atmosphere whereas more or less both parents are happier people than not, and happier and saner people will obviously become better role models and can create a safer and a more loving atmosphere for their offsprings. Children also need guidance, and if the parents are constantly putting each other down in front of the children, or being dishonest with their lifestyle or through their hate being abusive towards each other; then that atmosphere becomes a poisonous atmosphere for the children. In that case it is far better to divorce and become better human beings for themselves as well as for the childrens' sake.

                  Well, perhaps it was better for them to having divorced Sero, did you ever think of that? It's true, it takes a braver person to divorce when they see that no good is coming out of a bad marriage.

                  ANOUSH don't tell me your going to come out and say Meet #4 LOL
                  You're funny Sero; sometimes I wonder but no.

                      He's not really political, although he uses the various political organizations/people to help people around the country. He's a very admirable Armenian and overall human being.
