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.

In some issues, it will be tolerable to go your own way, in others it is better to just go with your parent's advice. I would say in most cases, it's better to go with your parent's advice, rather than do things against their will. Best thing of course is to find compromise if possible.
    How do you compromise on the decision of whom to marry?

      Well when it comes to marriage, I would advice, if parents are outright against it, for you to go with your parent's advice. It's the better decision for the long run. In other issues, compromise may be possible.

        Okay, so you're arguing that parents should be given absolute veto power on marriages of their adult children. Thanks for clarifying.

          I think it's best that your decision goes well with both families, if you in the long run want to maintain your ties with the family. As Kanadahye said before, this is also a marriage between the two families, and if the two families despise each other, I don't see how the marriage will work.

            Unless you want to end up like Princess Diana, better make sure your in-laws approve of your entrance into the family

              Let me ask you this then. What would you personally do if your parents weren't crazy about your girlfriend whom you wanted to marry? What do you do when you disagree?
              You should listen, discuss, share your views. If you really believe that this person is really the one you should or probably should end up with, then you should have good reasons why they are good mate. Parents have concerns, but you may have rebuttals or solutions to problems that they see. You can show them that not only are these concerns not a problem, and perhaps something that you have already considered, but they have all of these great traits too. Or maybe you will understand something they see that you hadn't seen because of the differences in perspectives and limited view as a younger, less experienced person, and that can help to at least make a more educated decision or know how to approach something in the relationship.

              Nothing beats and open and honest discussion with parents when it gets serious enough, and a willingness to at least listen to what they say and communicate your perspective as well. At least that way, even if you do disagree, you know why they don't approve, what you think about that reason, what you are getting into, and can at least have and earn some measure of respect-something that is important because unless your family is a living hell, your and perhaps your significant other's relationship with them will matter in the long run.
