Usually I let my "common sense" guide me with posting. As such I don't post "Dear Chuck" since (1) I know it's frowned upon and (2) I have his email address . But for instance in the Landscape forum I had no idea that there was a limit of one picture per thread, and that it had to be directly associated with a specific question "what to improve". I don't have any issues with that - I just had no clue. The closest other forum to this would be the FM Landscape forum, and there the rules are just about opposite (and more suiting to my needs in this particular instance).
Two people posted a "Dear Chuck Westfall" thread in the last 24 hours. One got slapped already and the 2nd will probably, soon. But I just spent some quality time looking for posting rules / etiquette, and could not find anything. Not saying that it's not there, but even to a person who was looking it wasn't obvious. Forget about the typical "I have a quick question/rant" person.
I think it wouldn't hurt if at the top of every forum was a bold link / sticky thread with posting rules for that particular forum, especially now when it's hard to "follow the format of other posters" since these are often in violation themselves.
