As an example, the 1st four posts in the Reportnet forum are note to users about do's and don'ts.
How about one post at the top called 'Rules of the Forum' or 'Read Basic Rules'. This post can contain all the do's and don'ts. That way, it will look less messy and it will be easy to identify the posts that are questions/issues rather than having to read the 1st four subjects to determine that the 5th one is a question.
If this sounds good, maybe we can have the 'Rules of the Forum' in every forum. It will also look consistant.
