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.

        Are you making any effort to read and understand? Apparently none!

        Who cares about your entourage and your preferences? It's about you or your narrow minded, condescending and ugly Bigotry!
        Nobody is judging you; you are arrogantly judging others! It may be that Oscar Wilde is appreciated in your entourage; so reading "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" may help you see the ugliness in your soul!

        For the record, the percentage of New Yorkers who pluck their eyebrows is insignificant and is of no relevance!
        Just curious! Where in the City?

        Didn't you say:

        I was simply letting you know that the issue transcends the two cultures.
        Please, take the time to understand what is said! Thanks!
        Nobody said its "culture vs culture:" where did you read that?
        Maybe you "dont really give a damn for any culture that glorifies a unibrow" and most "dont really give a damn for any culture that glorifies" bigotry like you do!

        What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

          It's not about you! Who cares about what you do? Just don't be a bigot!

            Pluck if you want, don't if you don't want. Your face is your property.

            I personally shape my eyebrows, and have been since 9th grade (like most girls in US) I find it more attractive.

            It's fine to judge others, it's not fine to impose your views on others. People confuse the two.

            Disclamer: Just a comment on the topic, not directed towards any specific person.

              What exactly does this have to do with American bigotry and cultural oppression? Somehow I doubt that the US is the only place where a unibrow is thought to not be particularly appealing.

                In some cases I do, in others I don't. It depends on the shape of the eyebrows, the particular face and other factors! There are no universal esthetic rules/values.
                We do what we please and tolerate others. I pay attention to esthetics - far more than the average person - but I would never allow myself to arrogantly mock those who do have different esthetic values.

                Please keep in mind that judgement+peer pressure = imposition!

                  Not only it has to do with American Bigotry and Cultural Oppression; but it is an aspect of it. Outside of the US, It is very unusual to hear arrogant statements such as

                  I am very concerned with the obvious intolerance towards sub-cultures and/or other cultures. The destruction of cultural diversity - including esthetic values - is a form of Ethnocide. Cultural uniformity is a form of oppression when it is not yours and is imposed.
                  If you have lived most of your life in the US, you may not see how alarming is the situation may be.

                  You can stop doubting! Some obsessive phobia - such as the one we're discussing - is particularly American. I insist on the choice of the word "phobia:" it's not an exaggeration!
                  We all have our esthetic preferences, but tolerance should not be scarified.

                    I do judge, its natural. I do not inflict pressure. Someone else's unibrow is not for me to pluck. lol I simply notice it, but keep my mouth shut. I would not like it if someone told me to not shape my eyebrows or wear my hair differently, etc etc...its not their place to. Its only fair to give them the same treatment that I want from them.

                    There is the question of....being in a relationship...would you tell your bf/gf to pluck for you (if thats in fact what you prefer)? I would if it was a serious enough relationship....although...any guy Id date wouldnt have a unibrow in the first place. lol If I didnt shape my eyebrows, and my bf asked me to, I would.
