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.

    When did I say anything about the above?
    You asked me how i arrived to the conclusion that you didn't agree with:

    abstinance usually signifies respect for ones body and future life partner.
    And I said "I have no xxxxing idea." That was too long ago and I forgot why. Was that not ur question?

      Of course a lot of what goes on inside Armenian society is there as a result of specific historical events - but that is not really a legitimate reason why these things should not be explored or commented upon by non-Armenians. And other cultures / societies / ethnic groups / nations have similar problems and dilemmas and tensions, I think. So we can learn from each other.

      Otto, from at least one member here, you are welcome to make whatever comments you want wherever you want, providing that they have some value. Though maybe you should cool down your use of irony a bit.
      Well, we have yet to live a century (or decade for that matter) where foreigners have not dictated the way we live. Call it what you want, its time we stop looking to other races and other examples as to how we should be...and its time we start looking within ourselves. As you may already know - I am strong believer that our society and values are in no way inferior to other cultures and we need not look to them for answers or suggestions.

      PS: Unless of course we are in grave physical danger. Than the Russians can do that nuke thing their good at doing.

        With all due respect, are you confused or are you trying to confuse. When you quote, can you please quote the proper sentence? Thanks. That was in a completely different post.
        Also, I would like to hear your opinion about the change of roles that I have suggested. Thanks.

        Are you answering to me?? Are you confusing me with someone else? I don't remember saying that!
        I still don't see any dialogue.


        P.S. For the record, bell-the-cat hay tche.
        What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

          I was replying to this, as I thought this is what you wanted me to answer. Have we completly misunderstood each other?

            - There will be male prostitutes, instead of female
            - Male virginity will be enforced, but women may have pre-marital sex
            - Males who lose their virginity will be vilipended
            -There are male prostitutes. All prostitution of any type is degrading.
            -ENFORCING that (on a political level if thats what you mean) is wrong. This issue should never be involved with our judiciary system.
            -Thats horrible. I always thought (in terms of this current issue) Armenian women were...more...I dunno...rightous? in being abstinant.

            I still want an answer to:

            so you think that a woman sexually devoting herself to one man her entire life is a good thing?

              You can't live as an island unless you actually are an island. And no nation is like that these days, and no diaspora could ever be.
              Everyone is going to have their own particular idea of what should comprise "our society and values" and how it should be perfected - but enforcing those ideals onto others are just going to create a lot of conflict and hurt a lot of people needlessly. And, I think, it alienates a lot of Armenians from feeling they belong to Armenian society. But I won't say anything more - there is some validity in your "you should leave this issue to us" point - maybe if you had said "mostly to us" I would have agreed with you.

                  - Male virginity will be enforced, but women may have pre-marital sex
                  - Males who lose their virginity will be vilipended
                  - ...........
                  I dont like male ho's...
                  Do you agree with the other points?
                  What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.
