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.

    Angel, I wasn't referring to you or to what you think. I didn't quote you or anything. See. Just to the idea. That's it. :-)
    I see...

      I also fall into the group of thinking Tattoos have deeper meaning than just "looking cool" and would only get a tattoo that meant something to me spiritually, philosophically, or personally... meaning, I'd probably never get, I dunno, a bunch of flaming skulls on my arm.

      And for those of you who are judgemental enough to say even meaningful tattoos are stupid, I'd like to point our that I'm pretty sure our tribal ancestors had them as well, and I think it would be, dare I say 'cool,' to get one that symbolized that and our heritage... problem is, getting info on ancient Armenian tribes is about as difficult as giving a mexican teenager birth control pills. Is there no where I can find this info??!?!?! Bah!!!!

        Well...I guess I have a hard time believing people get it for meaningfull reasons when even the majority of the poeple who say they got it for that go around constantly trying to show it to people (I didn't mention anyone here, so for the love of whatever the hell is important to you, don't anyone come back with some all offended reply). If I do something for myself, I'm not interested in showing it, or letting other people know of it. If people find out, they find out. But I don't go around purposely...oooh, just sorta bringing up the subject while gathered in a public setting, and then when I get asked "why, do you have a tattoo?", act all shocked and go "why yes! Yes I do!" Then wait for the inevitable "let's see". "Ohhhh, I don't know....I don't want to go around showing it and all"......"COME ON! LET'S SEE!"...."Ohhhh, alright!" Yeah.

        And SagGal....the only way for something to warrant the title "cool", is for the majority to agree it's "cool", d'uh! GET WITH IT!

          I don't have any tatoos, but I fall into the second category of thinking that tattoos have a deeper meaning.

          I don't mind someone who'd have a few tattoos here and there, with each one representing a different meaning or having some sort of connection with each other.

          But covering your whole body with it is just plain ridiculous.

            I agree, there is a point where it gets a bit excessive

              ooh, do you have a tattoo? Hu? Do ya? Lets see! I had a friend who did that.

              I suppose and I know what you mean. The majority, right, but it's silly though. Maybe deciding if it's cool enough for you. lol. idk.

                You mean like this, but all over the body?

                Some are really artistic though.

                I see...

                  Those would be the ones, LOL. I mean, they're artistic and all, but I don't want to be a human comic book either.

                      I'd consider getting one if something meant enough to me to permanently stain my skin with.
