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.

    Yes, your reputation will grow and it will add a green box to your reputation. If you get negative reps and the number drops below 0, you will get a red box.

    In other forums, there are thousands of active users so there is always so much going on. We don't even use it for contributions, we simply use it as a tool to communicate. When a member gets a new avatar, another post will reply by saying, "Nice avy!"

    Our reps on other forums reach a couple hundred thousand or more. It's fun once there are more active posters. Regular posters can't see who repped them so be sure to leave a name.

        btw people, users have different weights given to their opinions by how long they've been members, status, and post count. Maybe even their reputations? I'd have to check on that one. But I've noticed that where someone's vote may carry 0 or 1 point, others opinions carry 10 points in either direction.

        Something to be aware of, particularly if you vote negative for a stupid reason. When you get a negative vote back it could subtract 10x for you than your neg vote did for them.

          This explains a lot. I was wondering how I went from +11 to -8 in the mater of a day. It seems a poster with say, over 17,000 posts, zapped me.

          When you fight authority authority always wins.

            It's not just authority. Non-moderators who are long-time members w/ relatively high post counts can be and are given just as much weight.

              Understood, but I stand by my deduction.

                Certainly... it is true in this case.
                However I was just pointing out that it is not only authority who would win that fight.

                  From the reps I have received, all of the people who left it missed the point.

                  You have to (well, you don't have to) leave a comment. Otherwise, there's really no point to it; unless it's a negative rep, then in that case nobody really likes you anyway.

                    Don't be so catty One-Way...and take your "positive" rep with a grain of salt. Few people here will zap a moderator that has accumulated more than four thousand posts.

                    ...I bet you're a big fan of Sex in the City.

                      This isn't the Ankap thread, but then again, what am I telling you for?

                      I'm simply saying reps are meaningless without comments.
