You do get the site guideline on sign up don't you? I think I did... People just don't read.. Like T&Cs

TBH my bugbears are simply:

1. Slow forum - obv this has been improved since the server migration
2. necro-bumping - people posting in threads that are more than 12 months old with nothing new or special to add
3. post bumping - similar to above - one or two word posts to boost post count in order to be able to PM/buy/sell
4. Newbies asking why they can't do this/that/the other. Not sure if things are stated clearly at sign up. Maybe everyone under 10 posts needs a permanent banner reminder of the rules?

Unfortunately there is not much we can do about people writing two word replies to bump up their post count. All we can do is try and spot it happening, remove said posts and return their post count to Zero. Same with people asking the same question over and over again. If member don't read the rules then there isnt much we can do. I am trying my best to but the "banners" up on the main page to notify you of changes and important things.

Some forums have a minimum character post count. You could also put stickies in the appropriate sections.

You mean the stickies at the top of the for sale section that no one reads???  :innocent:

I will look into minimum post count. But I don't want to do that really.
