Unfortunately, the fact that people never read the rules can only be accepted. I have long ceased to respond to this general shortcoming, since the time when I myself led such topics with the help of. By the number of posts I deleted, you can estimate how much people like to get acquainted with the rules that you carefully prepared for them Cheesy

:

The idea now is, the OP should consider closing this thread and creating new one - but he should create a self-moderated thread. This advice is very useful to prevent repeated violations from the same user or different users, especially for those who are not used to reading the rules

This is the only thing OP can do if he wants participants to maintain the rules. I do believe that everyone doesn't read the Original posts before they write any post. But, when it comes to participating in any competition, Applying for such things which could have rules, people should check the OP.

Also, Thread creators could make it self-moderated. Not only for this thread but also for every thread which could have rules to participate in. If you report a post that doesn't follow the thread rules (Not violated forum rules), It's unlikely to get handled.
