Bonzy 71 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 (edited) They're fine where you currently have them, but I'd recommend also putting a sticky for them in Welcome or something. The small text in the bottom corner is pretty easy to miss and I'm positive that most of the people who signed up here never bothered to check it.

Noddles 116 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 I agree, I couldn't even find it on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great and Powerful Trixie 78 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 wait there are rules? I honestly haven't even seen where they are at all, so yeah, that would be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fillyshy 65 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 I too haven't been able to find the rules either. I just abide by the rules that most forums go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwilightSparkle 224 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 I agree, it took me a while to find them again when I wanted to go check something. The eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn. The younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganondork 42 October 5, 2011 Share October 5, 2011 In the meantime, you(the ones who never read them, at least) guys could have just clicked the link in your welcome message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,526 October 5, 2011 Founder Share October 5, 2011 They're fine where you currently have them, but I'd recommend also putting a sticky for them in Welcome or something. The small text in the bottom corner is pretty easy to miss and I'm positive that most of the people who signed up here never bothered to check it. There's a reason every single new member gets an automated welcome message with a big, clear link to the rules: Before posting, I strongly recommend taking a moment to acquaint yourself with our rules. Don't worry - they're neither long nor complicated, but it's a good idea to be aware of them. I know some of you might be like, "oh, automated message - must be unimportant, off to the moon with you!" but there's a reason we send it out. I don't want to clutter up too much of the forum with Read the rules!! links everywhere - I'd much rather save space on the pages for when we have truly important announcements to make.

The Great and Powerful Trixie 78 October 5, 2011 Share October 5, 2011 I guess I just have the terrible habit of ignoring any message from kurt not titled "HAWT PICS!!!" My badddd~ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzy 71 October 5, 2011 Author Share October 5, 2011 (edited) The problem isn't really the first time you read the rules. It's when you need to go back and check them in the future, especially if there's an update. Another solution would be if you edited the PM a bit so that it helps direct new members to the bottom right of the page.

Tiaaaaa 176 October 5, 2011 Share October 5, 2011 I followed the link in the welcome message too. But, I mean not to be rude, but there really shouldn't be a need to give people a link into a message to avoid spamming the board. It should be in some place obvious, preferably in a sticky. This board would be perfect for it. I know it's right there in the corner and I probably should have seen it, but like a lot of people it completely slipped under my radar. It's in a tiny font in grey down in a position that is usually used for credits/powered by logos. Of course, this is your board so it's ultimately your decision, but I thought I would throw in my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discord! 179 October 5, 2011 Share October 5, 2011 I don't think (read the rules) we have to (read the rules) do it like this (read the rules). Just at the top of the forums. . Making sense? Oh, what fun is there in making sense? Discord rules, Celestia drools. -Discord, Episode 27 and 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fghik 360 October 6, 2011 Share October 6, 2011 I've been looking for those! I wanted to check something a while ago, but couldn't find them... But now that I know where they are... *facehoof* But what do I know? I'm just a stupid kid. ҉ .Eternal ¸.•'´¯Chaos¯´'•.¸Comes¸.•'´¯With¯´'•.¸Chocolate¸.•'´¯Rain ҉ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
