You've all read the ATT rules. Or, more likely, you haven't, 'cos nobody bloody well obeys them. So, how about you run read them again, and vote in this poll on which one you violate the most often? It might be informative. It might be interesting. It might even be fun!

I'm gonna have to go with #5. I violate that one a LOT.

I'm going with #2 as I'm not sure if anything is worth saying in WAF per say.

I don't think I violate any of the rules, except #1. Were there any guidelines? I never saw them?

I suppose #1, since I haven't looked at those in ages. Since I was part of the group that created and approved the updated version of them, I don't think it's a big deal.

#3 is the best and most important rule. I follow that one almost to the exclusion of all else.

We have one rule-don't kill the leader.

Are you kidding? We break that one all the time.

To prove it, you would have to comply with it or doublepost.

Four or five posts in the same topic within ten minutes doesn't violate rule #4?

It probably does, but only SA really cares, so it's completely fine.
