Thanks for the replies. As for the requirement to "read the rules", I have to ask: when is the last time you read --thoroughly read-- a user agreement, Terms Of Service, or software license? Everyone who joins a forum is presented with boilerplate language. Yadda-yadda-yadda. Just click "I agree" and get me to the content.

I know software geeks who read every word of every line of every TOS or license before agreeing. A couple of them, tops. Everyone else just clicks through to get to the content. Such "agreements" are about as valid as "you break it, you buy it" signs in stores.

I appreciate the hard work the moderators do, and I don't want to add to their load, but I think it would be a really good idea to give a link to the forum rules, plus note in the post "edited by..." or "deleted by..." whenever a post violates the rules.

I just saw an ad that had been deleted for "violation of rule 13", with no other explanation. It only took me three clicks from that post to find the rule: Board Index --> Site Announcements --> Forum Rules. It ought to be at least as easy for a moderator to paste in the URL: http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php? ... 41#p119397" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks again. Just trying to help inform people who might not be forum addicts.
