Has anyone considered having a page that new members are taken to and on this screen are the rules of the forum and some pointers for posting etiquette. (Does this exist now? I forget.) The new member would have to click “I have read and agree” like a typical software installation. Then they would be taken directly to a home page for a collection of welcome and “Getting Started” pages.
Is this what you had in mind?
At least we’d know and they’d be on record as having been told the basic parameters before they post including why you might get zotted. I’m sure a number of us could put together some helpful-to-noob pages they could peruse. We could include links to the HTML sandbox, too, so we don’t have 15 “how do I post a pic” threads per week...
Just a thought.
