Everyone likes to be a monday morning quarterback, but we handle issues the way we do for a reason - we've found through trial and error that that's how it works best, and closing a discussion because it directly violates our rules is well within the realm of reason. we're not here to babysit, it's every member's responsibility to read and follow the rules themselves, and if we had to edit all the posts and post reminders, that's all any of us would have time to do. the rules are the rules, and we're "anal" about them because we're not asking a whole lot - don't swear, don't sell, don't promote your own business if you're not a regular member.
