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.

    From the second book:

    "My dear boy," said Lockhart, straightening up and frowning at Harry. "Do use your common sense. My books wouldn't have sold half as well if people didn't think I'd done all those things. No one wants to read about some ugly old Armenian warlock, even if he did save a village from werewolves. He'd look dreadful on the front cover. No dress sense at all. And the witch who banished the Bandon Banshee had a harelip. I mean, come on -"

        It reminds of a Star Wars thing that happened where a group calling themselves
        the Legion of the Sith decided to duel each other with fluorescent lights, this bright idea landed them in hospital.

        Bell I wasn't aware of that, I never even knew she supported the BNP, can you point me to an article?
        BNP? That would be forgivable. They are harmeless. I'm talking about the Labour Party - that is not forgivable.

          Aww

          *sound of hand slapping against forehead

          Meant to type Labour party, sorry bro/girl (dunno whether you're a dude or a chick, don't wanna call you dude if you'r a girl and vice versa).

          I know the BNP is harmless, insidious in my oppinnion, but never the less harmless.

          Do you have an article about it bro/chick?

            Not the BNP, but the Labour Party, currently in power.................for now.

              Guys, I don't know what she's doing and what she's not but one thing wrong I see in Armenians and many other people is that they really don't have something called appreciation. Rowling has helped so many people and not looking at that is almost doing what the Turks do sometimes. They ask recognition of smaller problems but don't recognize the Genocide. We all have good and bad sides but forgetting all that she's done is simply awful and makes me feel sick. Appreciate, no matter what happens. Look for the good, not the bad because that's the easiest thing to find. This is a quality, a virtue, not just something you can simply do. Appreciation is a big step forward .

                I agree there, she invested her money in the Labour Party because she didn't want Conservatives to get in power (although as far as I can see they are more or less the same thing), its great she is helping Armenians.

                I'm not however fond about her comment, whether this is her own prejudice or because she just tried Lockhart to look like an excrement hole, I am not sure

                  I doubt she meant anything by it, in fact its in context, any warlock is ugly/old.

                      I think it's the other way around. Harry Potter may seem like a childish remake of witches and wizards but I think what it does is make them look more realistic and believeable then childish, that word can't even be used. Half the people that say it's bad haven't even opened the book for crying out loud or have only seen the first movie so don't believe everything you hear. It's written magnificently even if it is/was a childish book, which it isn't. I'd like to know what those readers who mock Rowling read at all.
