Can one of the editorial team write and post an article on the dos and donts of posting on internet forums. Just something along the lines of:

"Please leave a reply to those who have answered any questions you have asked"
"Please don't post using all capital letters"
"Please don't post using text speak"
etc.etc..............

Thanks =)

I was thinking more along the lines of the articles listed on the home page Gavreel. Maybe even send it out in the newsletters.

unlike your good self and me Gavreel some people are to lazy to read the rules

Not everyone read or get newsletters. I think there are those who will always break the rules regardless...

one of the core rules for netiquette is

Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life

I worry about a couple of people that use this site if they act the same in real life as they do here!

Very true society. I just think some folks are completely unaware that typing in all capitals is the internet equivalent of shouting and considered to be quite bad manners. It wouldn't hurt to at least try to educate them.

Afternoon All!

I have been thinking about this. Maybe an email which goes out to all new users (or maybe all users once at the beginning) which tells them the basics of the net as well as how to use the site and what to do if there is a problem.

We are definitely working our way towards doing this!

Anything we need to mention specifically?

II think people usually say what's on their minds. I'm guessing that's normal behaviours? :-)
