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.

        As I have said already, "white" is the term used by the very people we were questioning. We know what "white" means in this country, as do you. Stop coming back to this meaningless point. It has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

          Culture is a product of race because different peoples have created different cultures. There is no other way around it.

                While culture and race are connected terms, they are not interchangable in every given context.

                  Rat - there you go attempting to label people again - so now your definition of an Armenian is someone who has been there? Hardly...my family for generations back has lived in Anatolia - what need would they have to check in at the Yerevan Sheraton or such to prove that they were Armenian. And this is so typical of you - no argument other then ad homenim. And accusing me (or anyone else) of making off topic (or meaningless) posts in a thread? You of all people shouldn't be throwing those stones.

                  So you have green eyes and fair skin - OK - I guess that why they let you join the Hitler youth (oh I'm sorry - I assume that you dye your hair blond as well...now click those heels together smartly...)...however in my book you are not the typical Armenian. I've been around quite a few - and while there is certainly a range of looks - the archtype fits much more closely into the Middle Eastern type of genotype then it does European. I would argue that no one (not even the kid) would fail to pick out the average Armenian in a line up consisting of "germans italians and english" where in a similar line up of Persians, Iraqis and Jews we might be quite a bit more challenged.

                    For the most part - race is a meaningless designation - particualrly in reference to those - like ourselves who manifest characteristics that cross such somewhat arbitrary boundaries. Thus culture is what is left that has any meaning. And there is no such thing as "white culture" - excepting of course when one is making yoghurt...

                      No I did not say that the prerequisite for being Armenian means you have to be there. I only said that you have not been there, and from what I understood in the past, you weren't Armenian. Why are you taking that as an ad homenim.

                      And furthermore, I don't know about you but my "Armenian sensors" are very sharp and I have made and continue to make the sharpest distinctions between Armenians, Persians, and Jews (Iraqis are not a people, they contian Arabs and Kurds, and other minorities since Iraq is simply a name given when Britain cut it up as such) since in my school all three of them flourish. Also, I can make the distinction between Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans. All this is because of me being "racially conscious".
