I wonder if it would be helpful to add just this one little section to the new user signup process: Administrators frequently move threads to more appropriate sub-forums. They can also delete threads entirely if an administrator feels the thread don't contribute to the intended atmosphere of the forum. This could happen for any number of reasons including inappropriate self-promotion, irrelevance, or a good original post that later attracted diatribes and flame wars.
Quick question about info for new WF users...

I wonder if it would be helpful to add just this one little section to the new user signup process:
This really is different from many lower-volume forums. (One forum I like, with only 1,000 users, had about a dozen pm's between users and moderators about whether or not a new user was sincerely confused or deliberately breaking the rules. Obviously there's no time for that discussion here.) If the way this works was spelled out more clearly at sign-up time, it might save new users from consternation... and experienced users from yet another argument about the rules.
Just an idea, take it or leave it as you like.
