Or maybe.. there could be a link at the top of the forum home page in a colour that stands out to the rules? It doesnt limit newbies, and its easy to find.

e.g

Forum Rules - Read Before Posting!

I like the idea, but better then just the text mabye make it a new button next to F.A.Q if they can. That would be easy to find, aos since its at the top of every forum also.

Don't really get what diffrence that would make next to the stickie of the rules we have there now, if they don't read that i don't get why they would read that one. :\

We don't tend to get much trouble of people that come here for the long run, more from the ones that stay around for a week and don't really care.

perhaps... before a person has like 50 posts, every time they try to post a message will come up saying: "did you read the rules? " Then, the click on a link, and they are taken to the posting page

I think that's WAY too harsh... people would leave in droves

I think what (if anything) we need to do is find a way to make newbies read the rules without restricting them in any way.

Maybe a button that glows when the rules are updated, and it continues to glow until you've cliked on it... making it stand out, letting you know its updated without actually looking for the rules to see if theyve been updated.

I always hated forums that have post/viewing restrictions. It seems so pompous. If someone isn't going to follow the rules, that's why we have mods.

well, yes. i hate them too. I usually leave in a day or so... But what i'm suggesting is just a little message informing one before they post to read the rules

I like the idea czskrazzi had about the rank image and dave's idea about having another button on the top for the rules.

Problem with krazzis idea is we'd lose half our forum ranks.

I think at the registration page they are taken to a page of the rules, and have a 2min approximate time limit on the page so they are forced to read the rules before they can register + post. :P
