Putting "don't post spoilers" warning..

...on the main forum page when you go to make a post. (at least during the Pride lag)

If posting spoilers in the main forum is something that bothers people that much, and it is banable, I recommend putting the warning on the main forum when one goes to post...at least during the delay period. I didn't know about the rule, and many others don't. Not because we don't care about it, but because it wasn't conspicuous enough, which it could easily be. Sherdog has a forum rules section, but not everyone is going to assume it's there and go look at it since it is hidden behind the main forum page.

When you go to make or reply to a post, there could be a simple line letting posters know about the rules and linking to it, advising them to read before posting. THEN if ppl ignore rules, a ban or verbal abuse is more warranted.

In my mind there are three very simple, common sense banable offenses:

1) Posting personal information of members, fighters, board staff, or anyone else of relevance without permission
2) Death threats
3) Posting "bombs" or any other such actions that threaten the security/operations of the board or the members

Maybe there are some other sensible things that I'm missing here but I think anything much more than that is like grade school level nonsense. IMO.
