Notifying members about your forum rules.

[Deleted member 9315]

Do you notify your members about the updated forum rules? Or do you let them check them without notifying them?

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

I send them an email...

 

[etc]

No. I think its not really neccessary. however i put the link rules of the rules under my signature so member will somehow see it when i welcome them.

 

[Hissae2]

I bump the rules thread.

 

[Poopy Head]

Hissae just sticky the rules thread? 😵

I just let members do whatever. I give them the choice to post to prove they read the rules so that staff know they knew what and that they did do something wrong.

 

[Hissae2]

The rules thread is stickied and there is a link to it on the menu. But I post in it every time I edit the rules.

I advise via the same thread with the rules, letting them know what changes took place.

 

[Demon_skeith]

depending how drastic the change in rules, I'll either announce it right away via the forum news board or in my monthly updates topic.

I don't tell them about it, but if they make a mistake for the first time I will link them to it so they can read it. If they make further mistakes bans will occur.

Each time our Rules are updated, the topic get set to a 'Force View'' topic; so the next time they log on they're automatically taken to them and become aware of the update.

That is pretty useful. How do you get this feature? Is it included with your software or is it a mod? Either way, what forum software are you using.

Sorry if it is a bit off topic, I really think this is one of the best things to do.

I also agree with this. It will make it a great ease to notify all members properly.
