Suggestion to the board police

At least have the decency to put The Rules up on a sticky, so the unsuspecting aren't ensnared and banned and left wondering what happened.

    Agreed, Russ. I'd be the first to admit it.

    sticky being the operative word for you smarty-pantses.

    As a former editor, here's how I would fix that sentence: I would delete "At least have the decency" and replace it with, "Do you think it would be helpful". Then I'd place a question mark at the end.

    I agree. I would also change "aren't ensnared and banned and left" to "aren't ensnared, banned, and left".

    You had better define sticky. I would think the first thread, which is locked as the first thread, that defines the forum rules would be considered sticky.

    If Robertpr is a genius, why does his icon keep buying stuff from Acme Mfg. that consistently backfires on him and also fails to catch the Roadrunner? image
