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.

  • Lying vs Not Telling the Truth

    Is it lying to someone, if you just don't tell them something?

    Like, let's say you kicked someone's dog and then duck taped ( along with rope ) it's legs and shaved it and then spray painted a Satani pentagram star with 666, and you don't say anything at all. Now, lying would be saying you didn't, if it was brought up. But is it lying if you just keep it to yourself, and they never even knew you did that to their dog?

    If they ask you if you know anything, if they talk to you about it in any way shape or form, even just in passing to mention how upset they are that some nut without two brain cells to rub together did that to their poor helpless dog, you better tell them even if they so much as just breathe the name of their dog or frown and look sad because of their dog, you better tell then so they can give you the proper @$$ beating you so very much deserve!

    If it is important information, then keeping something to yourself is as good as lying. The excuse 'whatever he doesn't know won't hurt him' doesn't fly.

      When you're not tellin the truth, you're lying..and when you're lying, you're being dishonest. Honesty's the best policy...

        it depends...

        if you cheat and don't tell rather than lie, then its dishonest.

        Not telling a firend something insignificant and small because you dont want to hurt their feelings is another...

        I think it depends.

          ckbejug: What you're talking about is someone being a jerk. That doesn't mean they're lying.

          viollette: There in lies the problem (no pun intended). You're not telling ANYthing, so how could it not be the truth/a lie?

          And....being dishonest is still basically lying, just a less harsher sounding word for it. In this instance, the only way for the guy with the satanic dog fetish to lie is to come right out and say "I had nothing to do with it" when interrogated. End of story. You guys are mixing up the emotions of being pissed off at what the person did with lying.

            I agree with Crimson..your only lying if the person asks you whether you did it or you know anything about it and you deny it. If the topic is never brought up and you never mention it then your not exactly lying.

              words are meaningless and forgettable...
              words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm.

                If a person considers something about you and it is not the truth but you do not tell him/her that it is not the truth, then you are lying.
                There are more scenarios, but you are not being specific. So to simply answer the question,
                Is it lying to someone, if you just don't tell them something?
                You are lying when asked about something or commited to something and do not tell the truth. Other than that, you're not lying.
                I see...
