Title: No link to the Rules in the Beginners & Help section. Why so?
Post by: TheBeardedBaby on June 26, 2018, 09:13:24 AM
I think there is the most important place to have the rules pinned on the top of the section, right. Lauda has put a lot of work to write the other useful tips and guides but still.
All the newbies starts from there but the Pinned Rules are missing, why? We have them in Meta, and many other places, tho.

Hope the mods will fix this.

Yeah but it's not so easy to spot, we are talking about newbies here, and they don't really like to lurk around and read, which is their problem of course.
But maybe we can prevent a little but of spam by adding the rules on the top.

If they are idiots/spammers/shitposters they are not going to care, no matter how easy you try to make it for them. Those who really want to learn and share knowledge don’t need more than what is there.

These are not newbies, these are spammers who are trying to increase their activities. A real good one will always try to find his answers from those topics in the stickies because the topic name from Lauda is self explaining.

I understand what you are saying, to have them in the board sticky so that these newbies (spammers can spot it). The truth is, I can guarantee you that if the mod or admin even do this - still we will see people are asking the same questions. They will simply ignore the reading.
