@markamadeo Hello and Welcome to the forums!
@Mirabella I agree. I think it’s a problem that the link to the rules isn’t a huge READ THE RULES! stickied to the top of the main page (surrounded with glitter and flashing lights in type 100 text).
There’s actually a badge for reading the rules but we’ve only 202 members who’ve got that badge and it doesn’t look like it triggers for the faq link just for https://forum.choiceofgames.com/guidelines .
The Welcome to the Forums post isn’t the most obvious place to put the link. https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/welcome-to-the-choice-of-games-forum
It’s not up to the mods whether the rules are pinned on their own or not, unfortunately. And it’s not my place to change the titles of threads created by the Choice of Games owners. I sent them an email at the end of November about this (when the subject was last raised). I can’t recall if there was a reply or not or if it got lost in a sea of spam or what.
