Force read rules

[AceInfinity]

While I didn't know that was a rule till now (Thanks for informing me, I'm off to read the Docs), I believe it isn't hurting this place TOO much. As Sam said above, if it isn't actually in the Docs (yet), I don't think it's that large of a problem.

EDIT; http://www.supportforums.net/misc.php?action=help <-- Is the Docs, correct? Seems small, w/o many rules.

Actions or events that aren't mentioned in the rules or help documents can still have a negative effect on a forum. Since one of the rules here cleanly states that such illegal activity, and warez are not allowed, and sites with such content. I feel there should be no exception for HF to be allowed for discussion here, or at least links to it. They are separate forums, just run by the same person. If you need to talk about things that belong to HF and topics about HF itself, there is a forum for that, and that would be HF itself.

That's the reason why it completely baffles me as to why people feel the need they have to post about it on SF where the rules are completely opposite. Some expect the rules here to be the same as HF just because Omni runs both forums, and somehow the rules should all be the same between the two.

If we have HF-like discussion here, and don't allow any other similar sites, does that not imply the idea that the guidelines for that specific rule are a bit of a joke?

Topics about HF and content that should be on HF which gets posted here though does get locked. That's about the best that we currently do at SF though.
