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.

      Armenian, why are you provoking him? We want you to be unbanned and to continue your contributions. Is it too much to ask to not engage in flame wars?

            I agree with you in the sense, however I see where Armenian’s frustration is coming from. I personally think that this forum needs somebody like Armenian to spank some users (in some cases maybe not as harsh as he does). He is got the skillset and knowledge for it that many of us don’t have. It’s not about agreement/disagreement, it’s about being protective against insults to our state and disinformation. Look your self at this very page of today’s posts. There are some freaks aligning Armenia with Kenya, or Zimbabwe or calling it “banana republic”, “authoritarian rule”, “regime” etc. Had this crap being said by the turk, he would be gone long ago. Other once quote horse sh1t from enemies of the republic like pashinyan the murderer to demo (the imaginary in their mind) other side of Armenia. And some users just asking for the beatch slap and when they rightfully get it, they get so obsessed that they want to troll and call people names every time they get the chance. I guess when prescription medicine doesn’t work, beatch slap does it for them.

                I agree, but our moderators don't approve of this and they have their reasons too.

                It wouldn't be good to see people like Armenian confined to forums where everyone already thinks like him, his knack for setting people straight in many arguments relating to Armenia would be wasted. But a compromise has to be made somewhere, there are forum rules and they have to be followed.

                I know how people here love to name call each other and it does add some kind of flavour to the forum, but when it reaches the point where threads that were perfectly good for interesting discussion and information turn into flame wars, there's a problem, and if users have a problem with the moderator's actions to keep some order, then perhaps they deserve a break to understand that there are limits.

                Btw, if Armenian's ban is extended, it could be a good opportunity for the rest of us to get some experience in his line of work around here too for combating the negative effect of the kind of threads you described, that wouldn't be a bad thing.

                  In 2 days? The f@g boy is chickening out because he knows that this crappy forum is dead without Armenian.
                  Every patriot should boycott this forum. Tomasoglu, the freaky character, shemale Siamanto, dumb@ss yerazhishda, the ignorant Zeytountsi character will turn this forum into a club of f@gs and Turd lovers.

                  What Young Dashnaks dumb@ass? You're talking out your f@g ass. You banned because you mix your personal issues with politics ignorant dumb@ss.
                  The f@g boy is a psycho who used to talk to himself on the forum and the loser is bitter and jealous because he's not the best forumer.

                  F@g boy people don't respect you around here, they just don't tell you that you're an @sswipe and a mental because they know that you're an @sshole dictator
                  The f@g boy cums when he bans. Please ban me I'm soooooooooo scared and you're soooooooooooooooo powerful.
                  I have made my intentions clear.

                  You do not have to like me. In fact, I encourage you to spite me. You can make a new screen name and take your time each time, but I will ban you in one click. I will open the thread and I will moderate the debates between the opposing sides and if anyone insults, its back to being banned.

                  If we as Armenians want to be taken seriously, then surely it begins by respecting each other and our differing views, not by insulting, threatening, or harassing other Armenians for merely disagreeing.

                  We all want to achieve and seek the same thing, the betterment of us as a people, we just have different ways of going about it. There is nothing that indicates that having differing view points earns someone the right to be harassed, threatened or insulted. The fact that you feel so disadvantaged and inferior that you got shafted, well, it only shows how desperate you are.

                  You will be banned if you break the rules. That's the way it goes. I was very lenient and I even warned all parties.

                  I will do so again. Rules are rules, otherwise this place would be infested with all sorts of garbage which would make the forum unpleasant.

                    And who says you're right and they are wrong?

                    You call disagreements trolling? Well, shit man, it's a good thing you are not president or dictator, or whichever power you would usurp.

                    I'm sorry, but this is a forum, and there will be discussions of opposing views.

                    And if you folks cannot handle that, then go find another place where only those who agree with you will air their views.

                    I don't pick sides here, I just enforce the rules, as humanly possible, while all sides bitch and moan about moderating.

                    If anyone insults or harasses or threatens you, you let me know and I will deal with them, instead of you resorting to their level. Otherwise, that gets you both a warning, and then a ban.

                      I think this is the point. There is some level of disagreement and childish mockery that goes on, that is okay, but when it reaches a level of rampant insults whereby the flow and coherence of threads is diluted and diverted, whereby we forget just what the purpose of the thread was, whereby some users actually threaten other users, where it becomes a personal attack on who can come up with better character assassinations, then there needs to be something to clean it up.
