Rules of Engagement

I'm not sure but I think console gives welcome messages to new people (again not sure but it does happen on other servers), and I thought maybe we could have it say the server's site and to check the rules.

I've never seen a 'welcome whoever' come up on this server before.

Yes there are messages that come up saying something like 'goto discovery forum for full rules' and 'please register on the discovery forums' with the link to get here.

My point was that the whole -=?=- fiasco was mainly caused by the fact that most of them didn't bother reading the rules before going onto the server and causing trouble. Then they started their clan without reading the faction rules either.

I still think we need someway of making sure people read the server rules BEFORE they get to the server and cause trouble.

On the subject of other servers I've seen one that had the message

'please know and understand the rules, ignorance of them is no excuse for breaking them'

This came up regularly as console messages, plus they had a password you could only find by registering on their forum and then CAREFULLY reading the server and forum rules to find the link.

I saw several messages from newbies asking where to find the password, and the forum had pointers to it that you had to be blind to miss.
