It looks like a good idea. Newbies should still read the rules when they join, but it seems most don't.
I guess it's a trait of human nature. Sometimes when I buy a product, I try to get it working, and if I fail, then I resort to reading the instructions. It reminds me of some 3.5" floppy disks that I used to sell. They came in a nice storage box, but the problem was that the instructions about opening the box were locked inside the box.
