I just think the original idea should be given a go. It isn't hard to do and it isn't as though we've done it yet, stop bitching about it and give it a go.
All that needs to be done is to make sure that newly registered members are taken directly to the rules page/topic where at the top it says in red something along the lines of "you must read and follow these rules, failure to do so may cause a punishment of the gbatemp staff's choice" (I'm not good at saying stuff like that
)
and then just list the basic rules (or the main ones):
- No rom/warez links (explain why and what the purpose of this site is etc -perhaps offer #gbatemp as an alternative to collecting roms-) *and for God's sake remove the scenes links page*
- No spamming (say what it means)
- no offensice comments/images (like porn, racism or attacking another member personally)
- Sig and avater space (just use kivan's topic as an example)
- etc
^ Those shouldn't take up more than several sentences and yes people WILL read it (look how many people got off to the wrong start here but have since become one of the well known and dedicated members), not everyone will do so but it doesn't mean that no one will.
