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.

    Pro War = Valid Points

    The first casualty of war is not truth, but intelligence.
    For the sake of our intellects, consider the INTELLIGENT points of the OTHER side.

    Intelligent pro-war arguments: Saddam has flouted the 687 ceasefire for 12 years, he's an evil dictator that must be removed, it can secure a volatile region and democratize it, etc.

    Intelligent anti-war arguments: the pre-emptive strike policy can be abused, the action can lead to greater anti-american sentiment and actions, the war's nationalistic fervor can threaten the democracy of our nation (patriot act),etc.

    You needn't agree with these arguments. The exercise of one's intelligence lies in the admission of the validity of an argument that differs from your own.

    Of course, in the process of listening to the other side, one must scour through the massive influx of UNINTELLIGENT arguments (e.g. nationalism for pro-war, pacifism for anti-war). These vulgar arguments are humorous at best, and utterly divisive at worst. Regardless, the mouths that spout such arguments, pro (remember 9/11!!) or anti (no blood for oil!!) are truly the first casualties on the assault on our intelligence. Even if your side "wins"...you're a loser if you're dumb.

    More important than your right to speak freely is to THINK freely.

    Expand your intelligence, and consider the other side.

    Yea but you have an invalid argument since your premise is false, the US exhibitis hypocritical behavior. The double standards are so obvious even a blind man could see. Israel has constantly violated UN resolutions as well as possessing WMD and the only known country in that region to possess those weapons and the US has constantly vetoed resolutions against Israel at every turn, yet they hastle other nations for the same thing.

      Yes , Israel has 300 or more WMD's. But can you blame them? I thinks its a sound investment for a people who have a distinct allergy to being exterminated. Given the level of hatred still directed at Israel and Jews, many of them must derive a gloomy satisfaction from the realisation that the hate who hate them cannot destroy Jews without destroying themselves, and that there is nothing anyone can do about it beyond striving to prevent Israel from ever facing a military defeat. Armenia can learn a thing or two from Israel

        Armenia and Armenians have always been unorganized and racked with jealousy and lack of cultural cohesion. Their days are numbered on the pages of demographics basically.
