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.

    Not ALL hedonistic acts are non-functional. Some aren't and some are. It's just that homosexuality happens to be one of those things.
    I'm sorry that I was such an idiot.

      There you go. You answered my question. You judge acts that are both hedonistic and non-functional as immoral. Thank you thank you thank you thank you! Was that really so hard to do?

        Yes thank you, welcome to the world of debating. We each choose either a side or back up our points. I cannot answer your open-ended questions with just one simple "yes" or "no." I just told you BECAUSE I AM forbiding homosexuality I am giving THOSE (observe posts) reasons as to why I am.
        con·demn [ kən dém ] (past con·demned, past participle con·demned, present participle con·demn·ing, 3rd person present singular con·demns)

        transitive verb

        1. give somebody a legal sentence: to make a judicial pronouncement stating what punishment has been imposed on a person found guilty of a crime, especially in the case of a heavy penalty or a death sentence


        2. consider somebody guilty: to judge that a person or thing is to blame for something


        3. pronounce something or somebody as bad: to state that something or somebody is in some way wrong or unacceptable

        There's usually more than one definition for a word.

          Well your trivial trivia isn't either. Just stick to moderatoring the forums now as I said. If you cannot see by now that the ONLY POSITION that I TAKE IS FORBIDING IT and that I WAS ONLY SEEKING TO EXPLAIN homosexuality by just supporting my points, then we have no further reasons to elaborate. I do not know how much more I can tell you that and you will never accept that because you have an already fixed pre-judged notion in your head which never budges unless it self-serves your own being strictly.
          I'm sorry that I was such an idiot.

            Unfortunately dictionary.com will not absolve you of your ineptitude of the subject. The definition I gave was clear and crisp as far as making my point is concerned and if you had known better you would realize that there are a variety of definitions for that one word. In a literal sense yes it is as that of which you showed. But the way Loser used it was in a totally different context. No one here was saying they would be gay or otherwise or hate them for being who they are. We were simply discussing its definition and explaining the reasons as to why it is being handled the way it is.
            I'm sorry that I was such an idiot.

              JUDGE and DECLARE are different words with pretty much different meanings.

                I think the reason why we are at loggerheads is due to the fact that there seems to be a misunderstanding of semantics.

                    You tell me. Those outlandish accusations and fallacies are what drove most in here to complicate this more than it already is. I told you from the start I forbid it for those reasons and the fact that is it overly self-beneficial to one side and only one side without a purpose. You just kept looking for loop holes and resorted to "why do you hate them?" Then that drifted to "why condemn their acts and not all you are not fair."

                      Gay marriage kills ponies, and I'm not gonna stand for it.
