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.

Do crimes like this increase the stereotype on Armenians?

    Jinx, you are 100percent correct. THe most dangerous men are those people who come out of poverty and become rich for doing absolutely nothing. Usually the people who become rich by their own force and will and hard work are different, the other just lands a recording contract or a big sale of crack and thinks he is really high class.

    You can be rich, but not always wealthy. You can be wealthy, but not always rich. Wealth is a way of life; concern for hygene, manners, and the drive for higher intelect. Drug dealers are rich, but they seriously do not have wealth.

    Nice comment Jinx.

      Dangerous? I never said they were dangerous, I just said they waste money. If you're talking about drug deals and gangsters that's whole different conversation.

        the people who become rich through criminal actions always are dangerous.

        There is a point where money does not matter to them anymore, and they go after power.

          Again, you guys are shotting yourselves in the foot. Can you please stop "promoting" the idea at "Armenians are into frudalent activities"? If Armenians can be labeled "criminals" by the actions of a few then we can also label the Chinese, Europeans, and Jewish mobsters of the 20th century with the same conotations, right? Wrong and furthermore, by you promoting this idea you fail to realize that you represent the demographic you put down. One day you will be driving a Benz and the same stereotypes you promoted will be used against you.

          Lastly, I could careless if a few Armenians want to commit crimes. It is not like morality stoped the Jews, Chinese, and early European immigrants from commiting crimes, which were MUCH worse the those commited by Armenians, so, why the hell should I care if a few Armenians want to rip off a few companies? It is ridiculously stupid how Armenians blow things out of proportion.
