    Default Suggestiong for addition to the Rules

    I have a suggestion, I think it would be a good idea to update the Rules to have a section for those users using Tapatalk and the Mobile Website. It would be a good idea for new members to know that there are various vagaries and tradeoffs of using those tools vs the full website.

    For instance when using Tapatalk

    - You can't see if you are thread banned and it should not be used as a means to evade thread bans
    - You won't see notifications such as Thanks and whether you are Quoted

    Things like that. Just a thought

    Are you sure Tapatalk users don't get notifications when they are quoted?

    I guess it's not smart to ignore someone if you're using Tapatalk to post in their thread, then.

    Some people might have a hard time believing that a Tapatalk user "didn't see" three warning posts.

    That is true. One other thing to consider is that even if using the full website it only shows the most recent quotes so if you are like me and you and are quoted quite frequently, you still may not see it

    I suggest that Damocles get rid of the ability to use Tapatalk, then.

    I guess he could, but I like using it particularly from my phone. I have learned how to navigate it. With regards to being thread banned, that isn't a big deal. For example I know that your best friend Christiefan always thread bans me just like Cypress does so I know not to participate in their threads.

    It really isn't that big of an issue. But, I think it makes sense to make people aware
