    Other than the crew we obviously can't make new rules, but we can certainly suggest.

    NEW RULE #1 - If you don't care about the subject matter of a thread please just stay away. Posting "I don't care" is both annoying and a waste of bandwidth.

    Ok, I'm done. :cool:
    Your turn.

    LOL nice snipe.

    I want a smaller signature line - or none at all. Clutchfans is the only forum I regular that looks clean without the added avatars and pic signatures.

    New Rule: if you title a thread based on an article from the Chronicle as follows:

    [CHRONIC] LOL ARTICLE

    It's an instant lifetime ban.

    New Rule: Unless your internet is still in the dial-up stage or Clutch sells some of his servers... You should stop using the "waste of bandwidth" excuse. :)

    No. You strengthen it. All of his posts will simply read "That's what she said!"

    Non descriptive titles where you have to click on to know what's it's about, like: "Please read" or "I need help".

    All female posters must start a thread with their pic, and the poll options of "would hit" or "would not hit". :p
