    as i recall, when i signed up i was shown the FAQ, and it had all these thing to do with problems i might encounter ect. might it be possible that all users are shown forum rules as they sign up, and make it immposible that they can just ignore it (a.k.a. having the page appear as they sign up). this way we mabye able to reduce the amount of spam we get.
    tell me what you think.

    You can't double post anymore, so he quit spamming.
    Now let's get back on topic.

    i think this would have little effect it would probably only even be read the first time they log on then it would be disregarded forevermore
