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.

        Armenians built Tiblisi, Beruit, Constantinople...now were builing our own city -for us. Get over it.
        It sickens me how you guys are completly unaware of these problems in Armenia.

        Last Year, 500 people were displaced and made homeless because of xxxx like this.

                What else is new in this world of ours?

                Nonetheless, I am gald those Third World garbage ridden slums are being done away with for good. All those who "champion" the plight of these slum dwellers are basically manipulators who take advantage of poor sociological situuations to promote anti-government sentiments in Yerevan. These folk are nothing but the tools of Washigton DC and Ankara.

                Show me a non-currupt government anywhere on earth. Take a close look at the governments in Washington DC, Moscow, Paris, Rome, Tel Aviv, etc. What makes you think Armenian politicians have to be Saints? I am not making excuses for the numerous faults of the current administration. However, you, as a responsible person, need to be objective and look at things with a more balanced perspective. For better or for worst, Kocharyan and company are the best we have today. The bottom line is our borders are secure. Artsakh is safe. Yerevan is developing closer ties with Russia, Iran and the EU. The economy is growing. Yerevan is blossoming. The social/political climate is calm. And a middle class is slowing begining to emerge.

                Its funny how we Armenians want nothing but perfection. A city has to grow and modernize. If you want to put things in a proper perspective go and study how your city of New York grew. I'm sorry to say, we live in reality and in reality not everything in Armenia is perfect or can be perfect. Yeah, perhaps the relocation of these slum dwellers could have been better organized. Nonetheless, our Yerevan is growing and blossoming today.

                  Those are worthless pictures (worth being measured in non-economic value). Go take those anywhere. Might as well just link to any construction site. Destruction of historical landmarks to build crap doesn't qualify as worth posting, to me.

                  I'll keep looking.

                  (Sarcastic, off topic "Tangent"--sorry Anonymouse!) Many times people have been funded to act like a local in order to do not good things... Oops, did I spill some beans? I'll keep looking at pics.

                  Honestly, this pisses me off. Tell me, crusader1492, why you are here?

                  My intuition, and other sources, say that you are not at all a genuine person.

                  I tease people who I like but don't agree with... I call out those who just lie.

                      No.

                      True, I don't like historic places destroyed for some cheap 'economic' crap... but that wasn't my point. My point was that this guy is a slimy spy (no metaphor there--he's paid to do what he is doing.)

                      [Edit: in case that wasn't clear. HE is a LITERAL spy. HE was hired to be here, and in Armenia... oops... did I spill your beans (jackass?)]
