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.

    Well I find reading such and contemplating that folks believe (and live by) such both amusing and very very sad....

    I used to work for (and am still friends with) this Charismatic Christian guy who (along with his wife) hold very similar views as expressed above - he is an extreme biblical literalist - and a leader/lay teacher in his rather large (rigth wing) church. But he is an exception in that he is always open to discuss things and would listen and not just block off (he had an older brother who was and still is [?] a hippie - so it gave him some good perspective! lol). In fact long ago we became great friends outside of work and still stay in touch, our families used to socialize together and I even visited him twice when he was living in Colorado and I was working about 1 1/2 hours away (he has just recently returned to the area). An exception to the rule - as he was a very fine and loving person even while holding some very extreme (conservative/old school attitudes and sometimes frightening [think armegeddon/rapture] views...)...of course he has similar but polarized opinions of me - "nice guy (we pray for your salvation every day Winston...etc etc... ) - but boy are you a radical!" etc...and many of you'all here would be pretty surprised (or maybe not) if you knew what (type of) position he holds in the current administration! Yeah - we disagree on some pretty fundemental stuff (gay marriage - lol - forget about it!) - but agree on certain things as well - oddly enough...and to think once (long ago) we both interrogated an important (weren't they all?) Soviet defector together...concerning UFO incidents over military facilities! Who would believe eh?

                    How did you even find this? The webmaster of that site doesn't seem to be any kind of Church official, nor do his views necessarily reflect the views of any Christian church.

                      I can tell you this much, in the United States Air Force a majority of high-ranking officers (Majors, Colonels, etc...) are women. You see in teh Air Force you need education to gain rank (along with other things of course) and usually women tend to be more scholarly than most men. So as far as the Air Force is concerned, yes, women can and do play leadership and command roles.
