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'm just following forum rules. You are getting off topic in this thread, so I created another thread which is entirely on-topic and lets you vent about how much you hate me b/c i'm bisexual. so, the choice you have isn't whether you like or dislike (you've made it obvious you dislike) my bisexuality, it's whether or not you'll obey forum rules.
    I don't find it appropriate to discuss the Armenian woman identity/role topic with you. All the best.

      Gegev, you never cease to amaze me. You're incredibly intriguing.

      There is a simple solution to your statement: don't post
      I asked others, who gave me a whole magnitude of suggestions and ideas on the questions I asked.
      I am quite obviously never going to be an Armenian woman. However, for my boyfriend's sake, I am trying. The fine line comes with balancing. His immediate family (his parents, siblings and himself) and some of his family (cousins) are aware I am bisexual. They have accepted that. They still ask of me to learn how to cook (even if it's not Armenian food) and how to speak their language (Western Armenian).

      That is why I started this thread. If you want to comment on that, great! If you want to continue badgering me about being bisexual then I created a thread for you to do so. That way, the rest of the forum doesn't have to keep reading all over the place about how much you think i'm subhuman b/c i'm bisexual. I don't care if you disrespect me, I do care that you blindly are disrespecting other people.

      Obviously, if people don't want to read about the "issue" of my bisexuality, they won't read that thread. Let us keep it that way instead of turning people off to reading all sorts of threads because there might be a chance of you commenting on my bisexuality elsewhere, where it is not intended to be discussed.

      I am not going to insult you or elsewise. You have proven to be a very thoughtful and intelligent person via your other posts and threads. Please continue to uphold your own image. Thank you.

        what you are bisexual??? Good luck with trying to be an "Armenian" women, bisexual mothers don't really fit into our conception of Armenian family. Your man isn't bisexual too, right?

          First time I have heard her speak.
          She sounds like a good role model.
          Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
          Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.

            Yes, I'm well aware of this that many Armenians are very...hmm... reserved when it comes to accepting people of other sexual orientations. However, none of his family has an issue with me (most likely b/c i'm not the only one in the family).

            no, my boyfriend is not bisexual.

            Sorry lodontsi, but I don't speak the language yet. Is that Eastern or Western Armenian?

              She is a very popular singer, Hayantantsi and lives in Armenia.

              Its a pity you cannot understand her.


              p.s. I suspect even if you understood her language you would not have been able to understand her.
              In the same way I cannot understand you.

                I was actually aware that she was a singer. I have people who are willing to translate for me, but I just need to know which dialect she speaks. I'm sure they can guess if I just hand it over.

                Though, from your other posts directed at me, I'm sure it's meant as an insult. But oh well, you are you and I am me. I will not insult you. My parents raised me better than that.
