my suggestion from day one was to have big ugly flashing rules articles on the forum pages until the user goes to them. upon viewing they go back to looking like normal alerts. IE: seperated by a coloured box outside of the normal threads.

then also if they get edited for new rules or whatever, they become colorful and flashy again to get your attention

There was a thread I was in once (can’t remember what it was), but it was discussed that when your main gets to level 4 (and you have access to the forums for the first time), there should be a warning(?) page before entering the forum that has the rules listed, and you must agree to them (tick a box?), before being able to go to the forums. An introduction to flamebate would be nicer (explaining RP & Non-RP), but that isn’t even really necessary.
