I was thinking that putting the 30/30 rule on the Registration Agreement, in green or red text, near the I Agree button, may prevent you guys from having to keep posting the 30/30 warning on new member’s posts/threads. Or, maybe, after hitting the I Agree button, on the Registration Agreement page, it could take you directly to the rules. Then, on the Forum Rules Thread, you could have another section for common errors or the most serious rules, in red or green text near another I Agree button.
Also, PLEASE READ THE RULES could be in red, as well, near the top of the Forum Rules Thread. Or, something similar, may help a tad.
Thanks for the suggestion. Whilst I don't believe that adding a specific rule to the agreement will limit violations, I just noticed that since upgrading the forum, the agreement itself seems to have reverted to the default, which conflicted in many ways what our actual rules state.
I've just updated the agreement to put it more in line with how the forums are actually run, and I've added both a link to the rules in full (in red text) and a link to our privacy policy (also in red text).
