In so far as a rule is a requirement you cannot viably differentiate one portion of a forum rule into two segments, one of which is rule, and the other suggestion. All the language posited under the title Forum Rules, are rules. Rules are all either prescriptions and/or proscriptions, none are mere suggestions. The rule we are now discussing requires members not to insult newbies even outside the introductory zone, i.e., no insulting of newbies within any forum zone, such is clearly what is being said, in straightforward, simple language. I was a newbie in the philosophy zone, and, I was insulted the piss out of in the phil. zone, wherein I was a newbie. Negatio.
Actually it is not posited under the title Forum Rules. Feel free to click “Rules” at the top left and see for yourself.
