I get that, BUT you have to go into intros first. If you dont you could end up spending a while looking for them. To me its important to know the site rules as best you can from the word go. I found them but not at first. I went straight into intros but i was there purely to post a 'here i am how are you all doing' thread. I then left and went up and down the sections looking for the rules section only to find there wasn't one.
It is just my 2 peneth, but i think there should be a SITE RULES section at the very top. In addition, if you were browsing the site but not yet a joined member you would be very unlikely to look in the new member/intros section at all. Again in that instance it would be useful to have a site rules section on display on the homepage.
