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 agree. But, that is not even close to what I am refering to. I'm talking about debate/disagreements about where one stands on the course of Armenia's political evolution.
    Sometimes unity is impossible. Take the LTP vs Sarkisian for example...

      It is way different to call a nativearmenian "turk" etc because of political diagreements (hell I might have done it as well) since he wont take it seriously because he knows that he is armenian and that his armenian identity is not in danger. But when you do this against a diaspora armenians or even worse, against armenians who are mixed but still care about their country (more than many "real" armenians) it can be dangerous.

      For example look at Nightowl. I disagree with almost everything that she wrote. But I have no doubt that she is telling the truth when she writes that some members of the armenian community treated her like an "outsider". This type of behavior doesn't serve us in the long term. We don't have the privilege to lose assets. This is why I am stressing this so much and I have done it other topics.

      Unless we want to see more Nightowls, we should cut this stupid attitude.

        And what is really making me mad is when I see some armenian "nationalists" telling who is armenian or not. A nationalist is supposed to serve his nation. These bigots don't realize that by dividing the armenians they are actually behaving like traitors.

          Again, when you paint in broad strokes, your assertion is valid. However, in realty, it is not that simple. In many respects the diaspora can be detrimental to the Armenian State. Look at the pro LTP rallies in Glendale a few months back...supporting a candidate who (by every national and international standard) LOST the election. This sour grapes behavior can only serve to weaken the Armenian nation.

            Considering that the intellectual/cultural level of this forum has drastically degraded since the skinheads have invaded and infested the forum, I think that we have a relatively acceptable estimate of how "beneficial" they may be to the Armenian Nation; briefly said, they may be as beneficial as a gang infesting a community.
            What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

              There's a difference between a "divided" community because of its diversity - in opinion, sensitivities, choices etc. - and a segregationist mentality and ostracism - that characterizes you, skinheads.
              In any case, I find it amusing to see you label TXMENIAN's comment as "utopian," considering your wet dreams of "theocratic monarchy." For instance, check this thread http://forum.armenianclub.com/showthread.php?t=10028 with voodoo, obscurantist flavors

              In the best case scenario, skinheads such as you, will prove to be worthless to the "maintenence of a viable Armenian nation-state;" fortunately, emotionally unstable megalomaniacs constitute a negligible minority to have any meaningful/noticeable influence on the policies and destiny of the Armenian Nation.

                By your very divisive statement, you are one of those "worthless" Armenians TXMENIAN is referring to. I concur.

                Btw, why do you find it necessary to work in the word "intellectual" and "skinhead" in just about every one of your posts? Either you have torretes or just a limited vocabulary...or maybe you are just a f'ing clown..yeah that's it.

                    So our "genius???" can't even tell the difference between:
                    1- Stating the fact that the intellectual/cultural level of this forum drastically degraded since you, skinheads, joined
                    2- A segregationist mentality/views, like yours, that is expressed as an ostracism against anybody who does not share your wet dreams of theocratic monarchy, dictatorship, militarism etc. etc.?

                    Too subtle for you????

                    When I'm addressing - or referring to - a skinhead, I use the word "skinhead;" shouldn't I call a cat a cat???
                    Too subtle/puzzling for an intellectual midget???

                      Unlike you, I am not a self-proclaimed "intellectual". Be that as it may, if you want to call me a "intellectual midget", that is fine by me...some midgets are taller than others and you are the shortest (and most mentural) midget in the forum.
