You mean this place has rules...? Err, no. I have not read them. I don't think that I ever will. I already have a good idea of what they probably are--and if I can't think of the rule, then I'm probably not going to be in a situation where I could break it. I'm sure there is more PC-specific ones, but forum rules are generally all the same. Not to mention, a lot of the rules that forums have such as no double posting, bumping etc are things that I already do out of personal preference. I am generally a quiet person, so if I did break a rule, it certainly wouldn't be anything of any considerable degree--and I'd accept the fact with dignity and deal with it responsibly, without making a big deal out of it.
 
I didnt. I went inactive for a while after joining and didnt particularly feel the need to read them, I know pretty much the basics of what isnt allowed on forums, such as No flaming, no double posting, etc. I used this place a lot to talk to people I already knew here and didnt post much. I did give them a read eventually though.
 
I always read the rules when joining any website ;) No reason the fall victim to the rules, when posting your first thread ;)
 
Well I just joined today so...

Yes. Although I skim, if something seems different, I end up reading the whole thing. Will have to check them again for signature rules and of the such, and since I'm one who pretty much changes sigs frequently [unless I remember the dimensions] then I'll be seeing the rules once in a while.
 
I didn't. I figured it'd just be common sense. I do read section specific rules, though. Those are the ones that are the most varying.
 
I didn't..i go after the famous said by me..Rules are made to be broken...and people wonder why my name starts with broken!!? ahahahaha
 
Probably not when I first joined. xD Maybe a little after I did. When I joined in 2009 I didn't really read rules, but I did read them! And if you're wondering how often I accidentally break rules, I only slip up once in a while and it's been a year and a half since I did.
 
Not the community-wide ones, no. At least not until like 2010. And then I just skimmed them while I was looking for some specific information or something idk. I figured I'd just pick things up as I went along and that worked. I've only ever gotten two warnings over ~9 years. Not bad really.

I only skim section rules as well, and only when I'm looking for regulations on threadmaking. The only rules I've read in their entirety are... the signature rules. And the PA rules because I've been editing them. i'm such a bad example omg
 
Screw the rules I have money.

Didn't read the rules at all back then, thought that I would be fine if I was polite yet humorous when I was still a forum noob.
 
I did because I had a fear of getting in trouble, and I didn't want to muck things up here. So I read them and kept looking back at them while posting.

These days, I can pick up the general rules of a place by just seeing what other people do and how other members react to it. The specifics I might still check on, but some rules are just the same in various places.
 
Nope, it took too long and I was really impatient. I guess that's why I keep getting told off, haha. :P
