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.

      The waiver clause is actually pretty good since the finger can be directly pointed to the Presidential Administration if the Act is waived.

        It would be 'desired' if he gets the f*ck out of the NA. Raffi is another well known agent of influence in Armenia, and it is made worse because he is an MP.
        For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated

          Unfortunetly much of the legitimate opposition parties are being silenced not by the party in power but by the more powerful opposition parties like the HAK. Since the HAK gets funding (from uncle sam) it is the only opposition party with a voice thus it basicly hijacks legitimate opposition which is terrible for the country. ANC has already waisted so much resources and time that one cannot help but question its intentions. If they are finely changing course twords nation building then it is indeed great news but i do not trust the anc to use our resources for the best interest of the Armenian nation. The ANC has waisted so much time and resources already that i question just whose interest it serves. I know some of the leaders in the ANC and they are simply powerhungry jerks who have no vision for the armenian nation. Nationbuilding should have always been its priority and they waited decades to finely do something in that direction. From our churches to our polititions we lack quality and vision. A nation building plan should have been concieved when the soviet union collapsed but instead we have waiste decades worth of resources on the impossible while ignoring the critical needs of Armenia. Where was the ANC the last 25 years? If it takes them that long to realize the proper course of action then do we really want them to lead us politicaly? Leadership with brains, heart and vision is something we in the diaspora simply do not have.

            I hate Raffi Hovanisyan, he gets on my nerves, and should stop moaning and get the hell out of Armenia.

            On another note, if it wasn't for the Armenian Lobby in US (which is actually pretty powerful) US policy would be much more pro-Turkish/Azeri. After all, if you were US would you support one of the biggest powers of NATO or a landlocked, small country with no resources and an alliance already with Russia?

              Um, they do support their NATO ally, hence why they do not recognize the Genocide. You would have made a better point had you put in azerbaijan which has oil & gas to offer.

                Of course they do, but remember Turkey would love for US to have more anti-Armenian policies, and if it wasn't for our lobby, the Turkish (and hence Azeri) wishes would be granted by the US.

                  Maybe, but the Armenian lobby likes to think it has clout, I think it is over rated. I wish they had has much influence as some ascribe to them.
