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.

    Huh? I doubt bees and wasps are the same species.

    How exactly does hearing a black person make you uncomfortable? That's the stupidest thing I've heard today.

      directed towards me? who cares? it's a forum. other people post in threads that weren't necessarily directed at them. fact is, you're very PC. grow up. look around you. what are you saying? and where will that lead you and our own race? i can already see the Armenians flocking to Cali and becoming uber rabiz, and giving a bad image to Armenians. then don't blame Americans (the "rednecks") for not liking us Armenians. what have YOU done to change that image? other than yapping at people who say something that is not even remotely racist..

        i feel comfortable with people who have warn and cheerful/nice voices, as if they want to help you. I also am comfortable when i can hear them clearly and that they speak good english without accents that you have to concentrate to understand.

        being comfortable around other white people doesnt make you racist, its only racist when you hate everyone who isnt white.

        comfort has nothing to do with hate.

          I guess it is more Tech Support than Customer Service.
          Calling my cellphone company for example. If I am having technical issues and I call and get someone with any non-white sounding voice, I have less confidence in the answers I get. I feel bad about it but it is true. And, unfortunately, based on my experiences, it has been justified.

            Hmmm maybe you perceive them as more friendly but I have to say that all those customer reps are thought the same information. The company trains them to be clones of each other so I don't see how one would be more knowledgable than the next. Maybe you look for voices that sound more interested in their work. You do not know who is white and who is whatever over the phone. Maybe you just like people that speak clearly.

              So, you're completely certain they are separate species?

              Leave the guy alone. I'm sure you're made uncomfortable by things that he would find stupid.

                Originally posted by Arvestaked When I call Customer Service for anything I always feel more comfortable talking to someone who sounds white. Anybody else like that? I guess that makes me a racist though I do not consider myself to be one.

                I guess it does not matter. Soon we will all have dried blood on our scalp and our eyes will be collapsing and our skin will begin discoloring and we will begin to smell. Just like my avatar.
