I've seen this around other forums as well, but instead of a question it would be a line or word. Someone would have to include the word/line in their introductory post so that they are confirmed that they had read the rules. Although people might catch on and bypass this by "ctrl + F" or some other way, but this made me read the rules.
I'm not too keen on the emblem idea.. >:
That's why if it was part of registration it'd be a better idea.
Yeah I know what you mean by the emblem thing and it being hard to handle TBH.. but either way I thought it'd be something that was an incentive to read the rules, ya know?
It'd get hectic but if people were PMed it, then it won't be seen around the forums, right?
They can't bypass the ctrl + F if you write something wittier like "the word you are looking for is _____ to the third question at registration" and obviously those words would be scattered also in the rules.. then at least it could be skimmed.
Other than that, like I said.. condensed rules would help; for example:
1) No pornography/ NSFW content
2) No swearing/ flaming/ censor bypassing (use child-friendly behaviour)
3) Post relevant topics in the appropriate section/ thread (if you are not sure PM a moderator)
4) Posts have a 4 word rule, and signatures have limits, too (see here)
5) Read each section's rules before posting!
Have fun, be friendly, and enjoy the community; and remember, breaking the above rules will have consequences.
Have another question? Post and read any more FAQs "here" and PM staff (link to forum leaders) for any other concerns. Don't forget to read the full rules and check out our announcements section!
Pretty short. People hate tldrs nowadays but at least they know the basics instead of saying "screw this" and just pressing join.
