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.

      All men are Racist to certain degree and I think it is OK in the sense that you see your ethicity and culture being better than others but when it goes beyond that then it is not good at all, like discrimination, hate, violance, profiling, feeling of superiority over others and doing something about it,.....

      There really isn't a clear cut definition but I believe there are many types of racism. I for one think that the Armenian race is one of the best......but I also believe that all men were created equal.

        If you're a man, you don't cry about being treated unfairly, you do something about it. I've experienced racism throughout my life and it is inherent to everyone whether they admit it or not. As long as I remain being and acting Armenian and maintaining my Armenian culture in a foreign country, I will experience racism and so will my offspring. I can choose to give into racism and allow myself to become assimilated which is what many people choose to do so they won't be regarded as being different.

                No, I just put that in order to give you a link or so. Racism is discrimination towards your race, and hence, along with a particular race comes a particular ethnicity, skin color, religion, etc. so it's a way to describe many kinds of discrimination towards, sometimes with the attempt to harm, the physical or mental integrity of a person.

                  Discrimination itself means making distinctions between things that are different. This is why people are so confused because people from different cultures ARE different, but, pschologically we are being forced to see them the same. The only way this can happen is if everybody IS the same which is goal of globalization (the elite taking over the world). Racism actually prevents this from happening by making sure power is distributed among many groups of people instead of just one.

                      With all respect, but I disagree. Racism means taking the "we are different" thing to an extreme, racism means believing you're race or ethnicity is superior than others, believing you're race is "pure" and shouldn't be mixed with the "not-pure" races from others, racism is apartheid, racism is discrimination towards others beliefs, racism is hate...this has nothing to do with globalization or its intention to create a homogeneous mass people, it is different from the conception of "we are one", you're mixing the terms.
