Well I thought it was about time to stick a little post up about it:
Tomorrow is my last day at SR. Some of you will probably breath a sigh of relief at the fact that I won't be able to ban people anymore; some people might miss the fact that I can ;-)
I'm going to work for a company in London on more money with better prospects. Hopefully I'll find time to check back in and say hello and stuff.
So... you'll have to chase the others at SR to get an anti-spam measure in place.
Hrm, now to think of a usertype I can become after leaving.... ideas?

This is a very good idea, no doubt he stole it from one of the other forums that does it. But could there not be a seperate forum for rules?

I agree. I have visited other forums that have implemented the 'Sticky' feature and it does help if you're a n00b as you know if there are any special precautions to note, as well as the common sense stuff.

My point is to have something that no one can have an excuse for not seeing. Plus your idea would mean one extra email per user, including to old users, hence costing SR money. My way costs Snuggly or another staff member about an hour, and one forum post made sticky. Plus a forum post could be edited by Staff to allow for changes, whereas an email would require a whole new email being sent out with the changes on it.

Thats a good idea there.

Snuggly, make a forum rules topic sticky and keep it there, make it so no one can post in it - that way newbies and JATS can see it - also makes it easier to ban troublemakers as lets face it, the forums rules are really all that prominent are they ? For example, it could point out that (for people who want cheats/hints) there is part of the site for it and that they can add new cheats, could also include rules for Gameaday, what to do if they have a problem with an order from SR e.t.c.
So is mine.
heh
It's sticky
It's sticky
Why?
Snuggly, make this 'un-sticky'
