Well you have to figure that if they can't even understand that simple warning/rule, how would you expect them to even word their question right, or for that matter, how would they understand any of our responses?

If we see someone who has THAT much trouble understanding the bright yellow on red warning in some of the simplest words in English, we'll probably show a little compassion.

Okay, that has been corrected..

Yes, the previous warning was too ambiguous.

The message now reads:

The General Forum is for anything related to Fallout, ++EXCEPT++ Fallout *gameplay*-related questions.

Gameplay related questions should be posted in the appropriate forums below.

--

That should be less ambiguous.

Idea...

Why you don't bring the Fallout 1 and 2 General Discussion closer to the General Discussion forum?

I mean, you could have:

-Discussions-
General
Fallout 1
Fallout 2

-Tech support-
Fallout 1
Fallout 2
Website

-Entertainment-
Roleplaying board
Modding

It would make the things clearer even for "never-knew-english" guys, and I think that the division would be more efficient.

What do you say?
