	Just take down the FAQ Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

what purpose does it serve? the noobies don't read it and violate sections IX and XI constantly, and ask about section XVIII almost as often while the vets already know all the important details, so why not take it down to save valuable HD space?

No, it is a perfec place to redirect the ones that asks those questions.

well there seem to be 2 different questions.

You have heard whether I have read the faq.

Basically the law of the land has to be printed somewhere for it to be referred to and enforced.

Because then the mods can just make up whatever rule they want for banning people. Oh wait, they do

you may not have read them, but you know there are rules against posting off topic stuff in the on topic forums and against flaming right?

it's not comprehensive (it can't be) and people constantly ***** about the rules that they don't bother to read anyway, so it'd just be easier to say "cause we said so" (which is pretty much what is done now) without the wasted space of the FAQ.

Actually, I believe that we just should redirect guys asking FAQs to the page. And I have enjoyed reading it .

Can't the entire Dem. Game be concidered as a number of Club Threads, (but the club is open for anyone)

nobody follows the FAQ, they just follow whatever the mods tell them (at least the people that bother to follow any rules do)

it's a list of stuff you're not supposed to do... so basically, yes.

I think sometimes the mods ignore blatant rule violations to avoid a big fuss as well.

Obviously, the poll shows that people have actually read it...

And no... there is NO WAY it could ever cover the rules that are enforced here. It is impossible to even begin to guess all the stupid and silly things people can do. If it was a "black and white" thing, it would turn into one of those, you said we couldn't say this, but I added a "s" to the end, so it's ok according to your rules. blah blah blah.

It is meant to provide a "guide" to behaviour for posting. If you actually take the time to read it, you will have a really good understanding of what is and is not exceptable.

Plus, If I wanted to play the word game with you... here is what is printed under the "what will get me disabled" section:

Double Log Ons...
Massive spamming in a thread
Multiple identical comments posted in many different threads.
Hate Threads... Or seriously hateful posts
Massive Flaming
Behaviour which is considered distruptive to this site.
No explicit sexual discussion allowed
Doing anything after an Admin or Mod tells you not to do it.
Usually, common sense is the rule of how we want things to work here.

This is far more inclusive than you seem to think. I can classify a bunch of activity under the "Behaviour which is considered disruptive to this site" clause.

So... the FAQ is a very important guide for posting within rules.
It needs to be here.

that's exactly why i have to get my wise cracks in now, in the future i'll be lucky to remember where i left my computer, let alone how to post here

yeah, i know

quote: Obviously, the poll shows that people have actually read it...

the poll is actually the point of this thread, the title and the rest is just bait to try to get extra views and people to vote.

the percentage so far is higher than i'd thought, though i wonder how many civ3 general regulars have voted...

So here I am, a pathetic Settler, and likely the only one who's voted. Registered about 3 weeks ago, read the FAQ a couple days ago. Thought it was straightforward and clear.

Anyone who's been part of an online community would get it.
And anyone who's determined to be a troublemaker will do that.

BTW, you can't seriously believe that the drive space taken up by the FAQ is meaningful compared to (for instance) this thread, can you ColdWizard??
(OIC, that's part of your "bait" to get more "views" -- very clever, totally fooled me into participating...)
