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.

    American Politics

    It is my wifes birthday tommorow so my sister and i went shopping for her today togather. It turned out kind of funny caus she found the gift that i ended up buying and i found the gift she ended up buying. At the chekout of Off Fifth Avenue my sister was waiting to pay for her gift but the cashier was being very rude. We were in sweats and not exactly regulars at this store but we did nothing to provoke her or anything. I figured she was a Romney-right winger who was taking out her frustration on the only nonblonds in the store. Im not writing this to discuss fashion nor manners but i am pointing out on the sharp devide that exists along political lines. If that woman did indeed act like that because of what i said then it is sad indeed that people cant treat each other as human beings because of political differences. Perhaps the fact that i concluded her actions were politicaly motivated is in itself a predjidice on my part as well. Perhaps it was just becaus we were wearing sweats or whatever but my point is that because of political difference we tend to assume a lot of other negative things about the people on the other side and this is something that perhaps should be discussed.

    Well, you did go in with sweats so you are definitely to blame here.

      Obama has been a great friend to the Turks. Though Romney wouldn't be much better.

        Its not just about the armenian issue but about american issues. Americans who vote are stuck with two choices of bad or worst and i am sick of it and will never vote for either party again unless major changes are made. Most of the people i know who voted for Obama said they voted for him not because he did a good job but because they were terrified of what Romney would do if elected.

          I don't understand what you mean by political lines. Republicans are wealthy white people who owned slaves. Democrats are the lawyers for wealthy white people who owned slaves.

            Two party system is undemocratic in my view. Need to have room for multiple parties and coalitions to be more robust in your democratic process. Neocons terrify me the most. The Neocon-Zionist-Turkish network is one of the greatest dangers to Armenia.
