1. access or use the Service in any way that is not in compliance with any applicable local, state, national or international law (including export laws), contracts, intellectual property rights or constitutes the commission of a tort, or for any purpose that is harmful or unintended (by us), or other than in full compliance with these Terms;
2. access, tamper with, or use services or areas of the Service that you are not authorized to access;

It says
Terms of Use.
Scroll to the bottom of the page, there is this link that says "TERMS OF USE" click it and read it.
The terms of use have been updated. See the correct answer dated January 2, 2008 above.
Answerbag's terms of use are requirements ensuring that no legal issues arise due to undiscriminating use of this site.
You have posted this question 3 times.
LOL! Thats funny, Borg.
I liked the former Terms of Use, they were easier to read.
I don't remember exactly what it said but I remember it was easier to read.
I'm puzzled about this statement:
"You and Answerbag submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located within Los Angeles County, Washington."
Is there a 'Washington', California?
Well, its not the only statement I'm having trouble with.
Oh, wow! There is a city of Washinton, California, I just looked it up.
-Elevation of 2600 feet.
-A gold rush town.
-"... an unincorporated community located in Nevada County, California." - wiki
OK, I'm puzzled again. Is it in 'Los Angeles County' or 'Nevada County'?
No matter. The important thing I want to know is, can I eat donuts while playing... er, while answering questions on AB?
Where's the owner of this website or customer service for pete's sake!
Essentially it's telling us to not be dicks.
Great Terms...
Pity it says so little about multiple accounts, among a few other things.
I say more here in my answer to a question about it.

TO: Answerbag Staff
I am so happy to get hold of you. I have written numerous messages and emails to you over the past number of weeks about a problem I have. Please tell me as soon as possible how I can sort it out.
I am unable to DE-SELECT EMAILS being sent to me by Answerbag. I have gone into my PROFILE and PREFERENCES and UNTICKED all the boxes repeatedly time and again.
It has not worked.
I live in a country where the Internet Use is very expensive and this is causing me a lot of additional unnecessary expense.
I would appreciate finally hearing from you as soon as possible.
Many thanks
I think when you feel it in your heart then its okay to say I Love You But I dont think you should say it while you are having sex with that person.
The other day workmen's comp. sent certified letter with a signature needed for medical release on my case. I was told by my doctor that they can only get information on my work injury. He told me to get it amended only to the injury only! I call w/c and asked them the question on the amenment on the letter sent. She said something to the effect, that I was right,,,,Need to know this if this happens again, then I can resend it,,,,

are you still there? How are you doing things any better?

Of course the suspicion is steroid use, but I think the huge financial rewards gained by a home run hitter result in more selfish modern players who hit for the fences, instead of just trying to get on base or advance the runners. I vs. team. I is winning

How did my questions posted under an **ADULTS** subcategory break the Terms And Conditions? Or do the vast majority of the **adult** questions break the T&Cs already and I was singled out???

Thank you for your response. I appreciate it. I guess somebody informed us with NOT all the correct information re: creditors & payments. Could you tell me what is the statute of limitations in NM? Again, thank you for your time.

Yes, I checked it also al cables, but remember that when I apply current directly to the starter solenoid, the starter work perfectly. I am talking about something like a electronic module, or something that may be in the whole electric circuit in betwee

Dear The AnswerBag Team,
It looks like I now have two accounts on answerbag. I thought the previous account was completely gone because of this site's renovation which you made a year ago. All I would like to wish to do is just deleting a new account to avoid being banned from the site. Please help me out to make this issue clear. Would you send me your reply as soon as possible?
Thank you.

I wonder when the entrance age was changed? It used to be thirteen.
by Firebrand on January 2nd, 2008
I think it was done today. It was updated today.
by Anonymous on January 2nd, 2008
So what about people that are only 13 and have been members a long time ? I know of at least a couple in high ranks.
by Firebrand on January 2nd, 2008
Why is it 14 now? Isn't it usually 13? I don't think the COPPA laws were amended to raise the minimum age to 14.

I'm worried about the Merchant dealings - does that mean no more pillaging?
by Mimi..smiling...there is no Option Two.. on January 7th, 2008
I'm worried about the abusive or excessively violent content clause, Is it considered excessively violent to advocate self defense in a particular way which is time tested and true?
Please clarify what forms of speech you are prohibiting.

by Rollie on December 4th, 2008
Rollie, wassup? Spell out what to whom, who's life,and are you sure you're in the right place? Have you wandered in here by accident? Take the weight off, tell all. :-)
by Mimi..smiling...there is no Option Two.. on December 5th, 2008
Yep, looks like a slip of the mouse click. Sorry.
by Rollie on December 5th, 2008
no worries! just concerned in case you didn't get a response, is all :)

I would like to know why some of my comments have been deleted. They do not appear to have voilated any of the above terms.
by BROADWAYTHECAT on December 19th, 2008
Can you have two accounts if you keep up with both of them?
by Google a Foo Fighting COAT on February 3rd, 2009
I have this account (the one I am typing on right now) and my "instructional CLONE" account. I do not know if Staff knows about it but I know some of the CLs do along with many other members:

Here from my troll guide, cleared with a CL:

(SOCKPUPPET: not necessarily a troll. Whether or not it is a troll depends on the use of the sockpuppet account. Having multiple accounts is Ok by AB TOS as long as a sockpuppet is not used to points up the various accounts, mass points down other members, or used in an attacking manner. My "instructional CLONE" profile in the "clone" section "G" is actually a sockpuppet.)

if ive got a moderator or some higher member of A/B giving me un neccacery agrovation what can i do because im considering legal advice for descrimination.. i thought answer bag didnt have the usual idiots and im very dissapionted in this place
by Dougie on February 11th, 2009
You want to re-phrase that, no system? Or get the hell out of here?
@Dougie - have you submitted it for the "Staff" to look at, or are you saying it's them that's doing it? This place is full of 'the usual idiots', meaning twits and trouble-makers like the above, but I thought the moderators were meant to be impartial; if they're not, then we're all in trouble.
by Mimi..smiling...there is no Option Two.. on March 13th, 2009
I can't add a comment - that's how bad it's got! lol ;)
by Mimi..smiling...there is no Option Two.. on March 16th, 2009
ok, no system, sorry, my mistake. :) I did wonder, I can't image why you'd attack like that.
I've had comments wiped for no apparent reason, but I've just put it down to the usual glitches - it's only been a couple. If you've had several, then it's obviously not that.
Thing is, as I said, if it's the moderators that are causing the problem, then who do you turn to when you want to sort out your problem? It's too awful to contemplate, really.
by Mimi..smiling...there is no Option Two.. on March 16th, 2009
Big Brother.... hmmm.. :(
You know, it's turning into Animal Farm here! lol ;þ

Is Answerbag an "English only" site? (Even Yahoo! Answers has its variations)

Hello,
What seems to be the problem?
Which answer or question I wrote does not comply.
Seems strange as I only give straight answers and ask very few questions.
