Those are the forum rules, you will notice they are now in the top menu in a nice little red colour. READ THEM
Maybe it's just me...but I can't see the nice little link in the user-menu anymore.
There definately should be little red link up there again, then people would have no excuse to not have read them.
Just the link in the quick-reply box isn't enough (and it's the only link I have seen so far). People who come here to ask a question won't notice it.
I don't remember if a link to the rules is shown when you register, if not, this would be a good idea to do so. Maybe also a link from the Help Documents page would be good.
Edit: A bit offtopic, but (how) can I rate a thread ? I can't find the link whatsoever. I think there once was some sort of place to rate a thread...
Personally iv'e never read the rules an nore do i intend to, its borring, just like reading a EULA , wh0 reads those these days? Not Me
much prefer to read a Book or FAQ on a topic about Sex

EULAs are more boring, because they're often written by lawyers, with boring and useless legal stuff that doesn't really matter to many people.
The rules of this forum, on the other hand, were written completely by me, specifically for this forum.

Remember that "Posting and You" flash animation? (that was taken down )...that would do just as well for the forum rules, and people would read them...
The rules..
