Not for nothing, and I don't mean to be disrespectful, but maybe you guys need to ease up on some of the strict rules that you have in place. I understand things like trolling with multiple accounts, opening new threads that already have active discussions on the same topic, etc, are counter-productive in many ways, however, at the same time, I'll bet you anything that part of the reason people don't bother registering and/or sticking around is because of all of the rules.
It's an online forum, a place of discussion; no one wants to be reprimanded or banned because of something trivial like a double post because they couldn't find the answer they were seeking through a search. I mean it seems like every other question has a moderator jumping in with "Rule 22 under article 42, section 27, subsection D clearly states that such and such is strictly prohibited." If that's the mentality and vibe that's going around, then people will think to themselves why even bother.
Again, take it for what it's worth, but it's just an observation/suggestion. I know several others feel the same way, but I figured I'd bite the bullet and throw it out there because even though I'm new myself to the tech-forums community, I would like to see to grow and expand as well.
