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.

    That sucks.

    The last work I had done (at a dealer) I paid much more than normal. The person who insisted gets different service, there. They rewired my Jeep top, the windows, doors, etc. (and still, they are f'd up.) That little dealer wiring experiement cost me over 500 dollars. I went in for a problem with my shifter, came out paying a (*hitload of money, and nothing really fixed and a crapy job with putting things back where they should be... for example, the seal around my sunroof looks like a 3rd grader got to try out the glue gun... aweful. I am angry.

    I use yoga to try not be angry and to not hate...

      Watch out Anahita, you are becoming a car bore.

      Just disable the speaker I suppose (switch it off using the bios) - unless it is an error message that the motherboard is beeping at you.

            Exactly. I think AC could add emotes to improve the forum.

            Sidenote: I like the AAC forum, as is. Please LEAVE IT as a link in the 'new' format... or leave it , as is in general...

            In person, (at least for women) there are several hundreds of feelings that can be said without saying (more often while talking, too...)

              Majority of the mechanics rip you off. Especially the Armenians I took it to I had to change 3 mechanics before I found a guy thats American & so far no complaints.

                Maybe your computer also has some issues.

                What name do you call it? (Since most women seem to give names to their laptops!)

                  Anahita if your computer is messed up, you should try to reformat it.

                    That was a late nite working, plus a little later other influences, talking.

                    My laptops issues are hard to deal with. I've turned to my 'strategy' with my car. I'm nice to the machine hoping to change it. My laptop was screeching. I tried to understand. I did a bunch of stuff and even bought it a new monitor for $5 (don't tell my laptop that, though.) I now can run it, at least.

                    I think my Jeep was 'happy' when I shampooed the carpets last week. It is running better.
