In an effort to tie together all the things we expect everyone:
1. No double posting within a reasonable time-frame - that means that if you come back to your PC an hour after your original post and want to make a fresh post in the same thread immediately after your last one, it's probably OK. 5 minutes later, though, and I'd point you to the modify button.
2. No l33t speak (except if you're being ironic) - it just makes you look silly and us confused. And much of it results in an activation of the swear filter anyway.
3. Control your language - cursing isn't of itself so bad, but Rob has become quite picky with the swear filter, so previewing your post isn't a bad idea. And swearing isn't cool anyway.
4. Warez/torrents etc. are officially frowned upon by me. Not forbidden, or even actively discouraged, but know that I'll be frowing at every last link.
5. Posts that don't make sense will be judiciously pruned, and the posters ridiculed.
6. Private jokes are to be encouraged, but private conversations that go on for pages are a little silly (MSN does have its place, you see...) and make everyone bored.
Post comments/suggestion etc, once the list becomes comprehensive I'll unsticky this and make a proper one-post rules-sticky.
