I need to insure that any member posting in a certain forum has read the rules

[tdennis]

I need to insure that any member posting in a certain forum has read the rules that I have for that particular forum.

Anyone know of a way to do that? Currently I have a sticky in that forum that lays out the rules for topic's in that forum but members just continue to ignore the sticky and create topics or make replies that are not allowed in that forum.

I know of no 2.0.13 feature that will do this nor could I find a mod that might help. Any suggestions?

I am not aware of anything that does in a per board/forum level

I see this one that is somewhat related.

You can use simpleportal mod and choose which board you want the message to display and where. Google simpleportal smf. They also have a gd support forum in case u get stuck. It's what i use. It's easy to customise and you can even copy and past text or html blocks.

How does that help the OP ensure members have read the rules before posting?

You really can't...    seriously, there is no way.
Even if you force the boilerplate to be displayed, you can't force them to read it... 99% will just click OK and won't actually read the words, anyway...

Guys thanks for the feedback, sorry for my late response I had a family situation tie me up and I am just getting back into the swing of things.

I may try the "Read the Rules" mod but I am like you, not sure the members will do anything but ignore the link!
Thanks
