When you register on this forum, you get shown a general rules agreement, which includes a link to our rules thread.
By ticking the "I agree" box, the users have agreed with reading and abiding our community rules.
Also, the rules have a permanent link in the navigation bar, on top of the forum, which is displayed on every page.
I think the subject of rules notifications is covered up pretty well by that.
If people refuse to read the rules, stickied threads, FAQs, etc, even with the notifications we have now, a PM with the link in it wouldn't have that much of an effect to no effect either, as the users just plainly don't want to.
Though you're right with that a PM when a user signs up wouldn't hurt, it's not really necessary, and with our current server-stress level, not really reasonable to use.
However, once we get to move on a better server, a "Welcome" PM which includes a link to the rules could be taken into consideration.
