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.

    Cool, then I don't need to pray or believe. Good luck will come my way anyway.

      That may be so..but its what happens after you die that you might need to start worrying about. But since you don't believe then I'm guessing you dont believe in any kind of afterlife. I'm not judging here..for all I know I could be going to hell. Believing in God, I always have this idea that if I do something bad, whatever that may be, then I'm going down. (this is my own opinion and I am not saying that this is what everyone else should believe in)

        I do good things because they are the right thing to do, not to get into heaven. If God cares more that you believe in him, then he is petty and selfish. I don't want anything to do with that God. I'd rather go down.

          That coming from the man who is pretty narcissistic and selfish himself. One can say you're just as bad as that god.

            Lose, those things that you mentioned before happened not because you didnt pray or you dont believe its because people who do pray and do believe pray for those who dont.

            Inna, I admire your simplicity.

              One can say I'm a lot worse. I'm also human. That behavior from a deity is unacceptable.

                  All right, if you're fine with me as God, then I guess you're cool. I expected a little more from the guy.

                    No, despite your love of yourself, I wasn't talking about you.

                      This is where you falter and attempt to define the nature of God which is one of my criticisms of organized religion.

                      However, for all you people know, the only ticket into heaven is suicide. Or maybe it is eating avocados. Or maybe it is having a lot of money. Maybe heaven is only for blacksmiths. The chances of prayer meaning anything is infinitesimal.

                      And that whole idea of "other people pray for you and that is why good things happen" is ridiculous. Again, this is trying to make a fact out of blind faith by asserting something that cannot be proven or disproven. God is a grain of sand; seek him out.
