Expanding on Uther said, I think a locked Read Me First thread would be great. It could list simplified rules/regs, with links to our most popular pages and threads, if it's possible to do that without getting too cluttered. Maybe sticky it, to keep it near the top of our thread list?

As far as rules and regs go, I agree that we should keep it short and sweet; I'm thinking 5 words or less is a good guideline, use bullets to expand as needed. For example:


 * Be polite. This means:


 * No swearing.


 * No hate speak.


 * No porn or violence.

Yes, a lot of it is common sense, but some of our users may need it spelled out that plainly.

On the other hand, I think rules like "No caps lock" are approaching a line; yes, it's annoying, but it doesn't actually hurt anyone.

Maybe we could add a Welcome/Intro thread too? It's not necessary, but it might help new members feel included, and build a sense of community. I don't know about anyone else, but I was really nervous to just jump in, make edits, and ask for or give advice - what if I look stupid?? (Heck, I still feel this way.) I'd imagine some of our young and ESL members feel the same, which makes us more likely to lose them.

Just my two cents. :)
