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.

  • Punishing our kids!

    Hey everyone...I don't know if this topic is going to be very interesting to u, but it's about helping out the young armenians who are starving for some direction in their lives...If it doens't appeal to u, please get the flock out!

    Okay..well first of all, I see a rise in drug use. I don't know if u guys understand this, but marijuana is a drug! It's being considered more and more harmless every minute. I know that most of us are responsible adults who, on occasion, need a little "vacation" from reality and our problems. But, kids as young as 11 or 12 are experimenting with it, not knowing what it can do. Where do they get this information? Well, it's simple...from their older siblings and relatives. What has to take over our brain and make us think that this is okay? What can we do about it? Why can't we just use our old way of discipline?

    Next, I'm going to address this to the young girls in our little society. This is for those little girls who wear the skimpy "costumes" and put on their masks in the morning, then attend junior high and high school, looking like they just stepped out of a porn studio. I have a neice who is 14, and the other day, she came up to me with a nose ring. I knew it was real because I grabbed it and pulled on it real hard. Of course she screamed, but I wasn't really hearing much.. All I could think of was "God please don't let me kill her". I yanked out the ring, as she sat there and cried. Of course I went to my sister, her mother, about this. She had the sorriest excuse to tell me. "How can I stop her from doing anything"? But then I thought about it...She can go and get another piercing if she really wanted to.. How can we stop her if the law says that we can't use our hands to discipline her? From the first day she came home from pre-school, she told her mommy about the "911" button..Of course, they don't teach these kids to use it in a real emergency..They say, "you can call 911 whenever mommy and daddy are mean to u".....What the hell? Aren't mommy and daddy supposed to be mean sometimes?


    What are ur thoughts on corporal punishment?

    Corpal punishment is OK when the parent is not enjoying it and is a tool and not a way to vent frustrations. The child should be told what they've done wrong as well. Otherwise the child just learned that it's OK to use violence to get what you want.

      Every kind of punishment shouldn't be enjoyable for the parent. Even when they send their kids to the corner for 10 minutes, that should be painful because it just means that something is going wrong with their parenting. I am not advocating child abuse, but I am pushing for stronger parental guidance and discipline.

        The parents who beat their kids for pleasure, are doing so, even with these laws against it. They are SICK people who should have their intestines eaten by a pack of wild hyenas (no not mexican girls)....As far as corporal punishment...I don't see how people can stand by and watch their children get punished by their teachers, but it's hard to control them everywhere they go. I think we should monitor it, but not ban it. If we have our discipline at home, and at school...then we have much less to worry about when it comes to bad influences.

          You're picturing someone who beats their kids for fun. I'm talking about everyday stuff when the parent is having a bad day and the kid does something a little bit wrong and the parent goes SMACK. That's the kind of wrong suttle message I'm talking about. But if the punishment fits the crime then it's ok.

            Ahh..Alright, well that's still a psychological problem on the parents' part. I mean, how sad is that to hit ur child when ur upset at work? A normal person can notice that VERY BOLD distinction between being angry at work, and being angry at home. Some people are sick like that, that's what I was trying to say. Those parents are no better than the ones who whip out their belts and beat their child unconscious. If u are doing it to make urself feel better..then ur SICK...BOTTOM LINE!

                Thanks for ur input..It makes sense in theory, but talking only gets you so far. I'm not doubting that it's the family's fault. I just need some help with this girl. I'm so tired...I love her more than myself....but I need to find a better way of doing things.

                  Talking to kids is underrated. My parents have NEVER EVER EVER hit me, nor my brother, and I'd like to think that we turned out OK.
