What about posting sticky threads to each of the forums for games played here? The threads should be marked up something obvious, eg "NetEpic New Players Start Here!"
The posts in those threads should have all the downloads links for rules etc. Also, additional materials such as MagnusIlluminus' excel spreadsheet -
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=24911&start=15 - would be very handy. I also think if we can make up decent video tutorials these should also go in the thread, after all, a video showing a new player how to play might be less intimidating than just leaving them to sift through the rulebooks.
Probably an idea also to make these threads non-postable except to admin, thereby keeping the thread "clean" and concise, with updates only when other helpful materials become available.
What do you think?
I also think that this is a very good idea.
I don't think that it's possible to prevent others from posting in threads though, this permission can be set for boards, but not for individual threads as far as I know. Just compiling the information, and then keeping the thread locked would, however, achieve the same effect.
