Yeh most probably will skim through them, or skip them all together, however I think even if a small minority do read them, then it's a step in the right direction. I think it's also a good idea for members who aren't even here for the HF award. The rules are something everybody should be familiar with on a forum, so having it as the first thing you see when you register would be pretty useful. I know whenever I register to a forum, the first thing I like to do is check the rules out, as they're always different on every forum. That's not to see what I can get away with, more what the forum expects of its members.
