Maybe we need a clear "Rules page"

After noticing a spate of locked posts I was wondering if it might be a good idea to create a clear link towards the top of the index linking to the rules of the forum? ie. don't promote illegal dragging, no "will my xxxx beat a xxxx?", etc. Maybe answer some common newbie questions like "when is the next meet in my area?" and tell people about the search function.

i don't want to sound negative, but will that really solve the problem?

sure, for regulars maybe. but if you were this new guy who signs up and post immediately, i don't think you would bother reading the rules/announcements.

i mean admins have already posted about the search function but yet???

sorry if i sound negative.
