Suggestion Basic Scuba "nag reminder"

[Cave Diver]

Several of the forums, like the Scuba Singles and the Womens View have "nag reminders" at the top of every post reminding you that you're in a forum with specific requirements for posting.

The Basic Scuba forum also has special rules for posting, but are only in evidence in tiny writing at the top of the forum:

Please note: This forum has special rules. This forum is intended to be a very friendly, "flame free zone" where divers of any skill level may ask questions about basic scuba topics without fear of being accosted. Please show respect and courtesy at all times. Remember that the inquirer is looking for answers that they can understand. This is a learning zone and consequently, any off-topic or overly harsh responses will be removed.

Sometimes I forget which forum I'm in when posting and the corresponding rules, and I'm sure others do as well, especially when posts start flying back and forth.

So the two questions I have are:

1) How difficult would it be to add a reminder to the Basic Scuba Forum like the Singles and Womens forum has.

2) What is the general feeling from others about asking for this to be implemented?

This would then also be applied to the "New Divers and Those Considering Diving" forum.

Yes, and possibly something similar in the Accidents/Incidents forum as well?

The Accidents/Incident forums are currently being revised. This suggestion will be taken into consideration.

Yes, I think just a one line note as to remind people of where they are posting has special rules would be fine

In theory a good idea but there are many posters who purposely post to irritate others and those are not the ones who will care what warnings/suggestions/rules you post.

Yeah, but the Mods can deal with those few. It will help remind the rest of us that just click new posts and not look at the forums to post accordingly.

The

We cannot check every message that's posted and have no intention to do so.
