If anything, really there just needs to be some bigger sort of notice to tell people about the rules when they sign up for the forums.

I agree. Not sure how it works, but I think new memebers need to check a box when they first sign up, saying they have read and agree to the rules. The box should have a link to the rules.
You would think it would be simple, as the rules link is right there on the main forum, and is not hard to find.
