Is it allowed...

[F32]

...for users to implement their own little rules in their own thread like:

Please don't post unless you're going to offer

or

Please don't make any other comments bar filling the form out

Cos - it gets annoying when you get random people coming in and posting things that have no relevance to the thread and conflict with the thread posters' "mini rules".

[:fixed]

Yea i agree it is annoying, many of those people only do it for the extra post when some might try to prove that they are good enough to be a forum mod ;]

I think you can ask other members to only reply in a certain way, but I don't think they have to do what you want.

You can put your rules down and hope the user is sensible enough to follow them. I am sure they would want others to follow their rules (if they were reasonable), if they made a thread with a few small rules.
