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.

      I guess this guy didn't quite get to the step of shoving them in his ears.

        You're only supposed to show up for the last 10 minutes and then go for the free food afterwards.

          During mass there are always guys hanging around outside talking to eachother instead of pulling their eyes out. If you do get the sudden urge pull something during mass-simply walk outside and i bet u will find people willing to talk to you tjere unless of course you still have that urge to pull on something and u make the horrible mistake of acting on it.

                    Absolutely. It's one of the most difficult things about mental health diagnosis. Not only is it an issue of normal vs abnormal and functional vs impaired, but the whole thing becomes even more muddled when you take cultural considerations into account. Akin to the "cultural defense" in law, whereby one has to consider the cultural normative standards of behavior for the alleged criminal acts, in mental health as well, the cultural context bears weight. For example, if a clinician might normally consider a person who routinely causes deep cuts and lacerations on his/her own body to be exhibiting self-destructive behavior, the same clinician might reconsider their assessment if it becomes known to them that this person is a devout Catholic who believes in flogging. The cultural context is key--and in this context, religion becomes part of culture.

                    Consider these scenarios and assume that social relationships, work, etc have not really been affected and the symptoms are not interfering with functioning in any notable way other than the strangeness of the experience.
                    I think that one's assessment of these scenarios vis-a-vis their qualification as mental illness varies greatly depending upon how/where/by whom is the term being defined. Clinically speaking, I wouldn't deem anything mental illness without the functional impairment criteria being met. Someone in another discipline may have another way to define/approach this. In your scenario B, the person is bothered and distracted. The question becomes "to what extent?". As long as none of these prevent the person from adequately performing his/her ADLS (activities of daily living), none of them are relevant to MY definition of mental illness.

                    Also, please note: no single delusion/hallucination (read: no single symptom) is ever enough for a diagnosis. Please keep that in mind as we weigh sanity vs. mental illness.

                    Also... Are these persons really only harming themselves? No one who witnessed this guy tear out his eyes was harmed by the experience?
                    What about those who had to pay for the medical care immediately following or provide for long-term care for this now blind person?
                    Spoken like a true lawyer Here our professionally-mandated definitions vary; the clinical definitions for causing harm to self or others tend to be a lot more stringent (narrow) than the legal ones.

                      Haha. I'm not a lawyer, but I guess the legal training does come across now and again (without my awareness).
                      You're right. There's not enough information to really diagnose, but I was trying to illustrate the difficulty of the task.

                      Would the destructive message with C have an effect? I don't mean for you specifically per se, but generally in your experience.
