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.

        Re: What about divorced people?

        Divorce is simply a symptom of the ephemeral nature of modern culture where the chimera and deception of 'happiness' is used as a measuring stick for marriages.

        Either way, the lawyers profit!

            Re: What about divorced people?

            I don’t understand why more people can’t get divorced and remain friends (even if only for the sake of children.)

            Lawyers get lots of money from divorces partly because the couple drags lawyers into their 'unresolved' fighting. (My theory was that money would be better given to our kid--let us find a way to make it that way.) Part of the reason divorce is so expensive (and lucrative for lawyers) is because each party will often spend many hours paying a lawyer (at hundreds of dollars/hr) to:

            1. Listen to every detail of how they were wronged or what is wrong with the other spouse—usually the longer the marriage, the more details. The lawyer is paid to be on their side—but a marriage therapist likely wouldn’t take sides on insignificant issues.

            2. Make the lawyer fight for insignificant things (household items, etc) because of pride or vengeance.

            My ex husband and I are amicable. We’ve even gone out as friends since the divorce. The major differences are that we go home to different houses, don’t have sex, and he sometimes still tries to pick fights. I’ve refused to participate in attempts to provoke arguments with me (that eliminates most arguments). I also think that my divorce was simpler than many because we didn’t use lawyers (other than for drafting the documents to be filed.) I have been in a couple of very long (years) relationships before I got married. When my ex boyfriends and I split, we did something similar—and we are still good friends. It seems to me that if more people could split in a civil way, things would be better (especially when kids are involved.)

                Remember the part about a marriage counselor—a much better idea than hiring lawyers for a bitter divorce for most people. I wouldn’t have gotten a divorce for just regular marital problems. Everyone who is married will have those.

                  Re: What about divorced people?

                  Well, my father was never mature enough to be a husband, I don't think any marriage counselor could've changed that, but he did lash out in court and he'd tell my mother, "I'd rather pay the lawyer 500$ just so you don't get 50$ from me!"

                  Wow, eh?
