I had taken some original "replies/questions" by the users, then added the "answer" given by the moderator up above in the actual first post by Podz. So it was basically a combo of the "questions/answers" from replies.. added up in the actual post of Podz..

Kaf: No objection on my part either.
For the main support entry page http://wordpress.org/support/, the Forum 
Rules sticky is fine,
but I still think it shouldn't be a sticky under the LATEST DISCUSSION 
section.

For newcomers to read it, it should be placed as a link right under the 
tag cloud - IMHO of course ;)

Spencerp: I agree that some stuff could be lifted out into a "Forums FAQ".
However, there is also a Forum Rules 
<http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Skippy/Forum_Rules> by Skippy in the CODEX.
How do we coordinate that with the ( so far ) sticky?
Should we skip the Skippy one ( pun intended ), or give it a prominent 
link on the entry page?
