I read through it.

It's not hard to do.

Yeah, it's a good idea to read through them so you have an idea of what's expected of you here. Welcome aboard, though.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Read through it at some point. But then, most(really, I'd say all, but eh) of it is just common sense stuff.
...And yet, that doesn't stop it from being broken by the occasional idiot with a distinct lack of decorum. :v

First time on the forum: I read the rules and guidelines. Not out of fear that [INNER_EVIL] will be unleashed by subconscious slip or whatever, but..well, just to get familiar.
..And probably appreciate the atmosphere of this area? Eh, I'll just point at Common Sense.

I wonder why others don't (or presumably don't.)..must be a habit for them?

You also shouldn't be waving around the strongly implied, if not outright stated, fact that you DIDN'T read them.

Because they're mostly common sense and it's not a long read, nor is it very hard. It's not as though Toady hired an army of lawyers to draft up the most convoluted T&C possible.

Read the fine print! It's all there!

But yeah, I'd be surprised if anyone didn't due to the fact that it's..really straightforward. :P

I would read the rules but I'm illiterate.

(before you ask, I can write just fine, it's reading that gives me trouble.)

This, heh. Both to remind myself what they are, and to keep m'self from skirting some of them too hard/outright breaking one or two. Which is occasionally tempting, but B12 is not the venue for publicly posting ribald limericks. No matter how clever! Or how badly in violation of the general rhyme scheme limericks are supposed to follow.
