post rules of global/channel/trade at top of ch bar whenever you log in.

Question

whenever you log in and are in a team, you see your teams information. my suggestion is to have a similar information pop up for everyone who log on every time they log on listing the rules for chat. similar to what irc has. things like "dont trade in global" "dont post links to porn" ect.... 

 

pros:

less excuses not to know the rules

 

cons:

programming time

it would probably get anoying

 

discuss

I agree, there are players that start to argue back when you try to inform them. The other day i tried to tell this player that trading goes in trade chat, he responded with "If you can show me where it's written i will stop" and he continued spamming. I was forced to whisper a CM to make him stop. So i believe this should be done.

Personally, I do think this is a good idea, but as Malorne said, being greeted with a wall of text every time you log in would suck. So why not just have a button either in the Menu bar or on top of the chat that you can press to read the rules? This has all the benefits of the the OP and it doesn't require you to close a giant wall of text each time you log in.

i thought of this and the reason being the same as the reason most players have never read the FAQ you get when you press "H". if you have the option of never reading or seeing it most people will choose not to out of laziness. this way people will see the the short (hopefully) list of rules every time they log on and will remember them. i totally agree it will be annoying but no more or less then the team messages you see every time you log on (assuming you are in a team).

Yeah, nobody reads the FAQ, but it's there.  With a button, douche bags can have their wishes fulfilled and be shown the chat rules so that maybe they'll get their damn trade requests out of Global...

Or get more moderators. Not too many as of now since it seems to be a big deal.
