I’m not going to touch the topic of what rules are appropriate/necessary, cuz I ain’t been here long enough for that.

Sticking to OP topic, though – I tend to think changes to the rules should be announced visibly and publicly. I’m with Lester, in that I read the rules before my first posting in a forum – I don’t expect to have to reread the sticky for changes every time I log in.

Short of a more formal system to announce changes, at the very least, a simple post from a mod in either the respective forum, or in GD, would certainly be in order. Something along the lines of

”Log in to see images!

It would (hopefully) also make life easier for the mods who have to enforce the rules. Joke as we might, I’ve modded elsewhere myself, and nobody really wants to be the ogre and banhammer people who were just having fun and couldn’t reasonably be aware of rule changes.

OK, well, most people at least don’t want to be seen as that ogre.

Alright… nobody wants to have to go to the trouble of banning a ton of users because they honestly missed a change, then get bawwwwwed at for doing their damn job and enforcing the rules.
