    If you feel that this forum would benefit from a dedicated "rules" sub-forum please show your support on the voting thread here by adding a +1.
    You can also add a -1 if you disagree, but please give a reason.

    Cheers!

    There's really no need. The forum isn't that busy to require a sub forum for a specific topic

    It's not about how busy the forum is, its about gathering individual threads on a single topic together.
    Also, we have > 100posts/day on average.

    Its a good idea from a discussion point of view, highlighting incidents, good, bad, funny etc, but (I know we're all supposed to be responsible adults) is there a danger that guys will take what's said in a sub-forum as gospel, rightly or wrongly ?

    Although, in hindsight, I suppose its no different to taking what's discussed on the main forum as gospel, but a rules forum might give the impression that its definitive......maybe with a health warning ?

    Just a thought.

    Lol.

    Didn't realise it was one of those vote any way you like once it agrees with me type of situations.

    Why ask for a reason if you're just going to dismiss it.

    Not sure its necessary, maybe an addition to the question, highlighting the topic as a Rules Question would be better. I find those threads are often the most interesting and active around here

    :confused:
    I explained that your reason for not wanting it are not the reasons for us looking for it. Its to keep related threads together.

    Yeah its a good point and has come up before under the guise of a sticky.
    It wont be moderated as to the accuracy of the rules, purely just keeping them all together.

    This isnt the main thread about it, if you follow the link in the first post you can see the details of what would be covered by the forum.
