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.

    So what? What's so wrong with being sold good spirit? I haven't bought a gift for anybody in years, nor do I buy a tree, but I can still enjoy the relative cold and the decorations everywhere and the carols and television programming and all. It's just a great time of year, whether you spend any money or not.

      if not for the mall, the way corporations MAKE you spend money and the way society pressures you to show what you've got...(gifts, how you look, how big is your tree, what company decorated your front lawn+facade)
      I mean what part of "Santa clause" has anything to do with Christ's birth.
      they call it "christmas".
      and it's not only Christmas. governments gotta somehow have the economy moving: In January it's "after christmas sales", in Feb it's Valentine's day, in March it's Easter, and mother's day and father's day and 4th of July and halloween...and on and on and on...just think about the common denominator in all these "holidays"... money!

      Hey look people, it's the Grinch!

      I don't know about you guys, but my gaghant has nothing to do with the birth of Christ. The "materialistic" celebration (gifts, Santa Claus, party, alcohol) are on New Year's, and are therefore not religious. On Sourp Dznoont, it's just church and family dinner.

        Can you blame people for demand? If you knew about economics, you wouldn't blame em.

            The best part of Christmas/ New Years is the food and all the time we spend with our family. Oh ya, I almost forgot... and the time off from work and school.

            I love shopping for presents... but I think the best present is a gift card. I mean what could be better than $$. Usually I don't have a problem getting something for everyone... but this year, I don't know what to get for my supervisor. Any ideas?? Someone??? Anyone??? No one???

              I don't like the gift card/money idea. For a supervisor, yeah, its fine. But for a family member or loved one, it just says "hey you know, I didnt care enough or didnt want to take the time to actually pick something out, so here's the money, you go buy something". Plus it doesnt look good for people to open a little envelope with a card under a big christmas tree

              For the present, is the supervisor male/female? hobbies? collector?

                      Omgosh you are so right, I love the food and spending my time with family. Finally school ends and I get to see my parents more then a few hours a day.

                      Is your supervisor a man or a woman? Well if its a woman, get her a basket of Bath & Body Works, lotions and potions. But if you want to spend a little more, give her some of Philosophy products. Like the yummy Shampoos that smell oh so great.

                      If its a man...then either a gift card or a scarf. At the moment I cannot think of anything else.

                      I hope that helps..

                      You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.
