Suggestion to reduce spam by markee on 06-26-2006 at 06:26 AM
It might be a wise idea to make a list of suggestions (like use a search before posting and not to advertise and that kind of thing) when someone tries to post a thread for th first time. It might make for a few less threads that are answered previously or are against the forum rules. Is this possible and what are people's thoughts of such a thing?

There's already a "read this before posting" section in the Help forum.

I'm not a big fan of forcing people to do stuff. 
If they don't read it there, they probably won't read it anywhere...
