Short answer: It’s expected that people who post in forums will see the forums. It is not expected that people who post in forums will see anything on twitter or the blog.

So rules which are added/modified/sometimes_deleted are updated in the pertinent rule thread(s). Rules stickies are stickied for a reason. You should make it a practice of checking if they’ve been updated. Hopefully the “new posts” will draw attention to them. An actual “show me all updated threads since my last visit” would serve better than “active posts”, but we make do with what we have.

And not all forums are created equal, so not all forums have the same rules.

Thank you for reporting those violations, we’ll look at them as time permits.
