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.

        There are just some topics that can't be discussed without people getting pissed and calling names and fighting, aren't there? From the evidence in here alone, I'd almost Armenians are akin to the Chinese (Edit: By the way, that was a joke). You remind me of those tapes they show sometimes of debates in the Taiwanese senate when the discussion breaks down and the senators start throwing chairs at each other and brawls break out. I think you've had a good enough explanation of why that first thread was closed. It's clear that the only person learning anything in that thread was Armobarbi anyway. The rest of you have your opinions and they aren't going to change.

          You say that is if its the only topic where people have their minds set before they start discussing. That is 99% of threads in any given forum.

            Sadly, people seem to care more about being right and how they look than about understanding their opposition's point of view or teaching someone else. Human nature I suppose?

              Hey I thought I was trying to open up some folks eyes here. We all have common misperceptions that often aren't born out by scientific understanding. I posted links to official Anthropological statements to back up my points...and its not like I am a novice to this issue - I have a degree and I've been involved in civil rights/civil liberty issues for some time now. So yeah - I have a position - and I have issue with some folks who keep contending things that are just not scientifically supported - particualrly when they lead to rascism. Oh yeah - I understand the "opposition's point of view" all to well...and also know that for some its just that they haven't been exposed to the facts - so I was doing a service - the way I see it...

                I am happy to learn new things, but I can do that without being told that I am wrong. I am always open to information. As long as you have good intentions.
