I noticed people have been banned for violating rules they didn't know existed. I suggest that there could be something that forces new players to read the rules before they can do anything on the server. 

I know a lot of people who have played Sneyersul for a while and never looked at the rules.

1) I agree with his idea

2) "...people have been banned for voilating rules they didn't know existed." What are examples of these rules they broke? For example

   a) Griefing- they should know not to grief

   b) Spam- they should know not to spam

   c) Behaving innapropriately- must I even say it again

   d) They should basically know what they should and shouldn't do even if they don't read the rules. I'm not saying they shouldn't- they should. I'm just voicing my opinion.

sorry

booti bump....  Inara... That's the most creatively weirdest thing i have heard today. Well done. 

It should be more of a matter of common sense.

You should know first hand every server is going to have rules. There's even players that tell new players to check /rules.

Aside from that, there's also a broadcast. 

Could you be more specific on your suggestion? I'm not sure what else there is to really explain to a player to check rules. Everything a new player gets banned for is pretty much common sense not working. ;/
