Easier to find Forum Rules

Hmm

People are just lazy and decide not to read the rules. I don't think moving them newhere "obvious" would help, as they're already in places that are obvious.

Did YOU read the rules before u went posting about? Did other ppl? Don't tell me no one did!

It's up to the person really, so if they get in trouble, it's their own fault.

I'm not sure what makes them think this site promotes that kind of thing neway

I agree that it probably wouldn't help in terms of people actually stopping to read the rules, but what it would do is keep someone from feigning ignorance to breaking a forum rule. Then they can't say to the Mods or Phade 'but the rules are over in blah blah blah, I've never seen them before, no one else reads them, etc.'
So from that standpoint, I believe it's a good idea, it helps for justification.

like saying you hellos and thankyou's

Heh, actually I view all the forum rules as being nothing more than common sense.
Of course, as the saying goes, "Common sense isn't common."

By them being in the sign-up page it doesnt help much. I read them yes. But in less then two hours i forgot alot. I assume alot of them because of other boards and common sense. But some people arnt very...smart --; Its not hard to type up a single post that u could just copy paste so people who have short memorie woudlnt break them.
