And that thread no way will qualify as one pager.
Anaway lot of new and better guides are created and Lauda has not included them. If you look closely you will definitely find the difference in both.

I would appreciate if you can present your idea in photographic. New members will willing to read thing in a photographic rather than wall of text.

To be honest, no newbie will read this guideline/one pager.
You have mentioned those link as a paragraph. I doubt they will go through it. Rather a list can attract them reading. Below the list, you can leave a short message.

But this is basically a text based forum, so we need to get rather used to the idea form the start. If we begin by going lazy on the reading, how will that act on the posting?

I am not good in info graphics but I will fund 2 Merits if somebody is willing to do it and still able to keep in in one page.

Problem is that most of are not reading anything but I still like your suggestion and let me think If I can go on List format instead of paragraph . I am writing below my basic idea of creating this post.
Edit: Created list format in second post.

This is One Pager, If you do not believe just copy it on a word document. The basic idea is not to create a post but a one page of word document/pdf that can be send to a new user registering in this forum for quick reference. High probability, user will read one page if you just give one page of information otherwise everybody click just "I accept and Agree" without reading anything.  I purposely left Merit and activity discussion because I do not think that are not necessary condition for gaining knowledge in this forum. I included Bounty and signature campaign (though I am not sure whether official one pager should include it) because currently Bounty users are dominating the forum.

Good job, OP. But I think that we already have something similar made by Lauda long time ago. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0
The problem that mostly newbies just don't read these stickies. Probably they don't care about it, they are laze or they just don't know about these sticked topics.
I think it would be great to display such general information when new user sign up. Yeah, mostly people still will ignore this information, but maybe at least some of them will read it. And it already would be positive impact.

Moved from B&H Board for better discussion and visibility.

I'm interested in the idea of creating an infographic of rules. I can make that commitment. Share your thoughts, how would you like to see such a picture? I've met various rules and guidelines for beginners, but I think it's a really great idea. In the form of photographs beginners it will be interesting to see their first steps on this forum. Perhaps it can be sent to all beginners in the mail at registration, but it will happen later, when all implement. Now it is important to understand how you see it? Shares now your thoughts

+1 for you reading all the discussion and showing commitment.
In post 2, i already changed the paragraph form of text to list (or points). You can use post 2 (divided in 8 points) as a starting material.

I will give you full authority to use this text to create info graphics and you can create a separate thread too but just acknowledge this is as a source of inspiration. You are free to use your creativity and to add/modify  in existing text.

Great!
I like your idea, I'm starting to get our thoughts together. Unfortunately, I have little free time, but the sketches were very good. I'll be done by the end of this week and I'll let you know in a personal message.
