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: Improving the Forum

      I agree with Siggie on this. We discuss so many different things that we need lots of threads and people will feel more inclined to participate if they can make threads according to the present rules.

        Re: Improving the Forum

        hmm.. this discussion has been intriguing. For instance, we could simplify it as most have suggested. however, the issue of hundreds of topics would still appear, just under those simplified categories. For instance, under "General Talk" would be all the not political/historical etc, and members who feel this forum should be more discussion-orientaed towards the other material could simply completely skip over that section. The problem is, in order for mods to better be able to do their part is the nuisance of now having to create more sub-forums. This in itself is a major pain.

        Primarily though, a lot of users aren't following the forum's rules stipulated. this causes problems for everyone.

          The fact that we are having conversation about how to organize all this info means that we have a successful forum rich in information (and babble to).

            Is there a way to make the column wider for the "Last Post" on the main forum page so the entire topic title can be read?

              I mean it is his responsibility to do that. Hey if nothing happens or he keeps ignoring these concerns, we could always start a new forum

I mean, it is there responsibility, along with the help of us moderators, but as far as changes go, it needs to be approved with nimda. I can propose these changes and hope he looks into it, but that's all we can do right now.

              I'm happy right here, though.

              Reading through this thread again, I find this a hilarious exchange.

                stop worrying about the boards and bring back a chat, even if it's really ghetto one. the chat keeps people coming back. It's been 3 days since someone posted in "Ankap" when we had a working chat that was never the case

                  i can't remember exactly where but there was another discussion of reviving a chat room here.

                  i believe the answer again was we're waiting on Nimda.

                      Re: Improving the Forum

                      wow. I and another member noticed when we type our replies on private message etc: darn!
                      the system deletes it or says something stupid and frustrating!
                      is there some timing in the system that disconnects the letter to not be able to send to the
                      other person after say a few seconds?
                      I hope this issue can be addressed and remedied. Or make the timing mechanism longer....
                      Oh well....
