@ff2, only if you receive a warning, since you are already a member.

Newer users would have to take one sometime in the walkthrough. Other users have suggested that they'd need to take it before unlocking certain things on site.

@mojo, illiterate? As in, they don't understand English or something? Well, if they're from a different country, there's always translators.

And of you mean even American users who just hardly understand English, if they are not able to understand the rules then how would that help anyone, honestly by having someone who can not understand the rules be on site.

I support this!

But…
Since the quiz might be added somewhere in the walkthrough and 'might scare some new user' maybe it can be the professor giving the test towards the user with a friendly behavior? I played a site like this once with a friendly NPC doing it.

i mean people who cant read (someone signs them up and then people just do whatever, they should have common sense in stuff like no hacking, etc)

@TheHellPrince, the idea of adding it in the walkthrough was someone else's idea in order to NOT scare off newer users ^^
I also even said in my first post that a test over the rules shouldn't really scare people off, and if it does, well then that says a lot about some people :b

@Mojo, if people can't read, I don't really think they'd have the ability to hack things. It's not our fault if people can't read, so even if someone else signed them up SOMEONE would still have to take the test. And hopefully tell that person about the rules.

I support this because I, and a lot of people evidently, am/are getting tired of people disregarding the rules. If the test scares them away, then, like the first post brings out, they (most likely) weren't planning on following them in the first place.

I also think that if more rules are added or if the rules get updated, that there should be a sitewide test, as well. Just so that people are aware of them.

I support, but, if the user read the rules, but only read the part wich is saying the awnser. Like, they can cheat in the test.

@Matt, well, I also thought of that. For one, I did not wish to make it so that when they're taking the test that a user could not refer back to the rules because I feel like that would be a bit hard, to remember all that information and have to answer questions over them without any help.

Also it would not be cheating if the rules were available as help.
I said think of it like an "open book test," which is a test where people are allowed to use their books to help them answer questions.

And at least if they did do that, they would have to read SOME rules, right? That's better than nothing.

You have my support. Maybe once every 2 or 3 months you could take a refresher test? that could help returning users who may have been off for a month or 2.

@Hanted, no I do not feel like that is neccessary, honestly. If that would be the case then I feel like that would be too spammy and probably quite annoying. Especially to people who actually know (and follow) the rules.

I think that a person should only have to take a test over the rules when either they first register and are going through the walkthrough, OR when a person gets a warning.

I dont mean like redo the whole test or if it is a need to do thing. i mean a short refresher test that you can take if you need or want to. (It helps when you are off for a long time and start to forget the rules.)

@Hanted, well, at first you said a refresher over the rules every 2-3 months. That would apply to everyone, not just recently returning users.
Also, if you are offline for a long time, come back, and actually even remember that there are rules, if a person really wanted to refresh their memory after returning, they could just read the rules without taking a test ^^
I still do not see a need for a 2-3 month refresh test.

The reason I go along with the "take a test over the rules when you receive a warning" suggestion, is because that means someone was already breaking the rules, and NEEDS to be reminded of them ^^

Well, Furret, I should say that I'm supporting this. But I'm thinking. (I don't know if someone said this already) In the case that, I don't know, someone gets reported by some reason (every possible reason counts), the admins would need to make him/her a test to see if he/she is ready to come here. But, in the case he/she doesn't knows, in the start, when you make your account, they should send the new user into the rules page and apply the "I accept the Rules" (or whatever that was called, sorry for being informal) and then make the test. If the user replies well, he/she can enter. If not, he/she would not be accepted. There should be a reminder of the rules every amount of time, like Hanted said.

Reminder: I'm not sure if anyone wrote or tried to express the same as me, so please don't get mad at me

@Pizza, so what you are saying is that when people first register they need to also hit an "I accept the rules" button, in order to even take the test?


I mean that isn't necessarily a bad idea, but I for one would just hit the button without even reading the rules.. :'>

For that, and like you said, if they fail they have the opportunity to retry. There's this "Open Book system". I would say that not necessarily they should make this system, because if they make this, they will enter and get reported "as many years as the universe has". I'm not trying to say they should quit the "Open book test", but what I'm trying to say is an idea. The user would need to read the rules deeply in order to approve the test. When he/she does, the user(s) can do the test but they wouldn't use the openbook.

This is an idea only, but I think they should use your system as well.

Amazing idea!
(I actually didn't know this was already suggested when I suggested my suggestion, sorry!)

But, if it's retry-able, wouldn't people just spam it to get past it? (Sorry if I missed any posts regarding any limits that could be added.)
