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.

It's not so much about getting the grade per se but that your parents are saying "we acknowledge your existence, and we love you".
    Consider the reverse. No praise and only criticism? "What? Only 94%?"

        I don't want to go into why I hate the school system in America but here's a good example; short and sweet.

        The entire class did pretty horrible on the Anthropology exam we had and the teacher said something like this:

        "I don't know what some of you are thinking when you don't take notes, or how you expect to learn or pass an exam when you don't take notes. Maybe not you'll realize how important taking notes is. I'm not the type of person to make fun of you guys when you walk in 30 minutes late... or text message your friends. I never call you out or laugh at you because I don't care. This is college, you're paying to be here, so the choice is up to you and your exams will reflect what you've learned."

        The last part is what bothers me incredibly. It seems like he totally missed his own point! We pay to be in this class so why do we still get treated like it's high school? This entire "don't come in late, sit down and take notes, and then I'll give you a 6-page test" is a totally messed up system. That's not how I learn, that just stresses me out and I shut my mind off at lectures.

        Anyway, I take more notes than anybody in that class and that didn't help me. It's like he told us to study one thing but he put something completely else on the exam.
        You're complaining way too much. Although I agree with you, they shouldn't be so strict about your attendance, or if you take notes, or if you come in a little late as long as you do exceptionally well in class and your exams reflect your in depth knowledge. However, if you have poor grades and you are complaining about the above then you're not being reasonable.

        I think some professors miss the point. They are there to teach you the material as well as they can in order for students to walk away enlightened, not to regulate their behavior and display their authority.

          Am I complaining about my grades? No, I'm not.

            It's not the praise, it's the over praise. Like i'd prefer a simple "good for you" than, tears of joy and hugging.

              People who talk about voting like it makes a difference really annoy me and have their heads up the rear of partisan politics.

              People who "go out."

              People who like to go 'clubbin'.

              People who like to 'party' (Vigilante I'm lookin in your direction).

              People who remind me of animals.

              People who drive slow.

              People who don't signal when they lane change.

              People who drive slower than they should on a normal right or left turn.

              People who are dumb.

              People who smell.

              People who like to be showy.

              People who have to do "Christmas shopping" for everyone really annoying me.

              People who are always happy, bubbly and smiling and cheerful make me want to punch them.

                    i hate those people, as well as the ones who accidentally have their turn signals on, or they mean to turn one way but have the opposite signal on

                      Adopting the organized Mouse format...


                      I hate people who remember you when they need something, but try to act like you've been great friends all along.

                      When people say "good evening" I always hear like a Dracula type accent.

                      Students who put family members into hospitals with life threatening conditions because they didn't write their paper.

                      People who tell me to just let my dog "be a dog."

                      People who think they are the only ones in existence and talk way too loud (into phones or with others).

                      People who shove their trucks and SUVs into compact spaces or just take up more than one space.

                      People who park so damn close to your door that you have to crawl in from the other side.
