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.

      It is, by the fact that you are a thinking acting creature now reflecting on it.

        Hindsight and reflection don't make rules. You have to contemplate what you are doing before you do it, then it's a rule. But, right now, as I am in a relationship and thinking back on how I didn't set any rules and limitations for myself, contemplating that doesn't make what I did become following the rule of no rules.

          na i do think its true that you shoudn't date anyone that has been raped
          so yah i agree with that
          AIDA!!! OH GOSH DARNIT>> YOU'RE A GENIUS TOO!!!!!!HAHAHAA..

          calrification though- by saying "dont date" i mean dont go out with people you KNOW that you wont stay with for long.. what the point>? and whats the point to start dating when your 17,18 or sooner??? i mean.. if you are not planning on getting married or something till you are 23 or more, then that leaves 4+ years of "dating" which can result in lotsssssssssss of bull.. lol.. but, ofcourse it is important to get to know your 'mate' before you get into anything serious.. but i think a couple of years is more than plenty...

          My point is.. that most people who get into dating (and deny it alll you want..) early on get into sex, do worse and worse in school, and then a couple of years of this, one of you ends the relationship because of stupid reasons, the saddest and most common iv seen to be "im tired of you" (direct translation-i want to have sex with someone else).. thats the problem i see in dating.... so i say again.. DONT DATE!!!!(dating as described above) HAHAHA..

            Actualy.. ultimately i think this is how i am.. not having any written rules just means that you know whats right inside, and you dont have to express them to yourself on paper and read them everytime you 'date'... I think your right.. not having to make any of these decision specifically is better.. casue you just let how you really feel take over.. and wen something is right or wrong, no matter how many different ways you rationalize it to yourself you know that wont make it right.. this follows the "not having set rules for dating" idea.. this way its genuine.. but ofcourse this is not to outset some of the (amazingly) good advice listed previously.. but just to make them a more...natural.. thing.

              But at one point you made a conscious choice when time came, since you are an organismic consciousness, therefore cannot claim to make a unconscious choice, as choice presupposes thought. To deny that is to deny human action in any of our endeavors. Hence you prescribe to the rule of no rules. It's very simple, although you do not want to admit you have a rule, thus the resistence, which is fine.

                Stick to the subjects god damnit! Can't you read? "Favorite hair style"


















                But I think I share the same point of view than Mouse, having no rule is something we impose ourselves (or a society,etc..) and it's pretty much like a rule being subordinate to something else (idea, opinions, principe,etc..)

                  If this is a first date, by all means stick to getting to know each (i.e. family, friends, work, school, etc.)...minus the sexual stuff...If a guy asks me what and who I've done in the past on the first date, you can rest assured he won't be hearing from me after that night...I think it's rather rude and it just shows he's more interested in sex than me as a person....And besides, I don't feel comfortable telling people that I hardly know my personal business...what if I never speak to that guy again...AFTER telling him what I've done/or haven't done in the past? most guys are xxxxxxxs and would use that against a girl...so I try to avoid that until I've actually known the person for a while and I trust him with that information.

                  Do you lie? It's a common thing between people of different sexes, you always want to know if you're dating a good girl (everyone has their own definition of good) and a girl who's slept with the college football team and vice versa.

                  And by talking about it, i'm not suggesting being crude and saying "Oh yeah, so this one time, I boned this blonde in the backseat etc etc."

                    I didnt mean on the first date. I meant throughout the dating process. I didnt know your rules specified first date circumstances My bad.

                      choosing to say that you "shall not follow any rule" is in a way a rule... but since it isnt specifically about ONE thing, people think it encompasses too much and couldn't be a rule... but logically thinking, or a lot of times i like the example of math, mathematically thinking, it is a rule... if there were rules which all equaled to 10 and you said there shall not be any rules you are saing -10 (negative ten) and so:
                      10-10 = 0 and zero is a number, if zero was not a number where would we start? and how can we answer certain SIMPLE multiplications problems like?
                      525 x 0 = 0
                      or
                      -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (if a zero did not exist we would not have a place for it in the number line) and your rule of no rules would not exist...

                      as for dating rules: if you are not equipped to take care of someone emotionally and you know that, then dont date someone who has emotional problems; i know i cant deal with too much emotion, so i avoid people who are too emotional. i am girl and sometimes i dont want to talk to my friends who get too emotinal...

                      good rules:
                      - dont expect to pay, and dont expect the other to pay.
                      - cant handle a certain personality, dont date someone who has that personality and expect them to change.
                      - know exactly what you DONT want, at least that way you can aviod those people

                      that last one is a lot like my relationship with anony... he is fascinating, but i know that i could never deal with that much talking and constant over complication of issues, and other such curious things about him...
                      nonetheless, he is a good person, and i hope he finds someone that likes him that way...
