Declined Force players to read the Section Rules for the particular section when creating a new topic

[Stratosphere 2,234]

I am suggesting an idea for the forum, to force players to read the Section Rules before creating a new topic. It'll stop topics like this, this, and this from being created and wasting the time of moderators. The idea works like this: 

 

1 You click the  button.

2 You are automatically redirected to the section rules for the section in which you are posting the new topic.

3 You have to read them, then click an "Accept" button at the bottom of the page.

4 Now, you can create your topic.

A very good intention, indeed.

 

Unfortunately this will not help, as it does not assure that the member truly read + understood the rules.

We could make a quiz, and ask questions on certain topics from the section rules.. but this would overshoot a bit.

 

So declined for the moment, until the idea becomes more usable.

No man, are you trying to get me banned :ph34r:? Nice try, but it won't work on me, Adriel, personia or darkness b)

Actually, I suggested this a while ago and I think it's a really good idea. Like, first time (or first 2-3 times) someone clicks to post a topic in any section, they get a pop-up with that section's rules which they have to scroll through and agree with. Sure, it wouldn't guarantee that they actually read the rules, but it would at least make them aware that the rules exist and bring their attention to them.

 

But I don't think it's possible on this forum.

C'mon 

 

Rules in like 2 pages won't attract anyone to read.

It's not so easy to craft rules short an simple - and still have them covering all important issues.

Maybe we could craft an rules-excerpt infront of the large version.

Yes agree ppl wouldn't read rules just will click stuff like 'I have read the terms and conditions' or stuff like that...

Lool, thats a good idea
but i think for most people, they will scroll all the way down and click accept without read it
