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.

    Re: Peace at home, peace on earth:Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

    Isn't it time for some of the rules to be amended, if not abolished? Many of them have been violated in the past by members of our beloved virtual community, including the higher-ups.

      not being able to bump older threads is one of the rules that i vote be abolished. when rereading the rules after a long absence that particular one stood out to me and struck me as being idiotic. what exactly defines a thread as being old? after how many weeks or months after the last post has been posted does a thread officially become 'old?'

        Some of these old threads contain important information and remain valid, IMHO.

          unless the person is responding or asking a question from someone who has not been here or posted several years.....then again that is funny. I think I might have done it myself.

            I don't mind bumping old threads either.

              I think it just dumb downs the forum.We can probably put links for reference on the issue but, there's value in letting the reader decide on the current material they are interested in; as to how far they want to go back on that related issue.
              "All truth passes through three stages:
              First, it is ridiculed;
              Second, it is violently opposed; and
              Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

              Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

                No, you are not correct. If that were the case, then you would have stopped posting here a long time ago, as nothing you have posted in the last few YEARS has contained anything important or worth reading?

                  I find it interesting that the intelligent members of this forum have been expressing their opinions about the "not bumping old threads" rule, and are mostly against the rule, but that all the well-known idiot members of this forum have no opinion to express, and simply make personal attacks on the person who asked the initial question.

                  I guess I've found a one-off useful function for that rule then, haven't I?

                      LOL are you implying I'm a "well known idiot" on this forum? You, the man who has made nothing but one insulting post after another for as long as I've come back to this forum? You, who makes random, vague claims, then runs away, or avoids/ignores requests for you to back up your statements, or clarify what you're inferring? Are you honestly this blind or ignorant to your actions? Or are you just hurt/angry/jealous that you've run into someone on these forums who can intellectually hand you your own ass on a silver platter?

                      The sequence of your last 2 posts shows your hypocrisy, and is a perfect example of what my last reply was about. You made a useless post insulting everyone in this thread by claiming everything they wrote is useless and uninteresting (just as you've done countless times over the course of the last year or so), yet when I point out the fact that YOUR replies are useless (since it is YOUR posts that revolve around personal attacks as opposed to relevant opinions or info on the topics you're replying to), you turn around and accuse ME of doing it.

                      The above quote/your last post is literally the equivalent to "I know you are, but what am I". BTW, you praised this idiots work on several occasions. You can't think of me highly one minute when I argue FOR your side, then call me an idiot the next simply because I decide to expose YOU by using those intellectual traits that you liked so much earlier.
