I realise I'm fairly new and I feel I have no real right to speak as I really haven't experienced any real problems with this, but I'd still like to point something out.

It's very easy to change rules to a forum and add more. But the more rules you implement, the less fun it becomes to be a member. I've seen many communities crumble over added rules that took away the fun of being a community member. If it's not really needed, I wouldn't add anything to the rules, but just address individual posters if they really act bad. There's also the reputation system which can be used to "teach" new members how to properly behave.

Also, I understand the annoyance if two posts posted directly after each other are in essense saying the same, but I really see no reason why one should delete a post if they just spend minutes of their voluntairy time to write up a good, decent and informative post.
