It seems only fair to find a way to let people know that it's different, and since many people navigate from the front page or from their subscriptions (without going through the formal forum pages that list all the threads) it seems to me the only way to be transparent and fair about the rules is to post them right there on the threads themselves. That's why I made the request.

Maybe someone could draw up a rules post and regularly repost it? Arwen does that with the 9 Words Poetry thread because folks come in there and just write 9 words and leave, without bothering to read anything else to see what the rules are for the thread.

Sadly, in just about every thread that has rules of conduct or whatnot, most people don't seem to bother to look around and find out how to post and what is and is not acceptable but just go and throw whatever they think the thread is about up. The gaming threads are notorious for this and is why I don't frequent them as much as I used to. I am very much a 'play by the rules' kind of person and it's not worth the irritation to me so I just don't go in there so much anymore.
