    It took a while for me to find the post for the extended rules describing the finer details of the rules and map information.

    Would it be possible to add a link to this post in the MOTD so that players can find it easily while connected to the servers?

    This was suggested a couple times prior to this.

    I don't think it'd be a problem to add to the MOTD.

    I would agree on this one, this idea has been suggested a lot but would make STTT more easier for new players to understand what the full rules are and avoid them from getting banned +1

    It's not difficult to imagine this being suggested a lot. Would certainly save some explanation time.

    +1 could help stop the loopholing happening

    Edit: better wording

    honestly in my opinion i think this could cause more loop holing from happening -1

    Loop holing is going to happen either way Harry. Considering Darktooth said when he got lead that they were working on re-doing the motd I assume this would be a part of it. Nevertheless +1.

    What? Why? Because people who loophole will take read those rules and find a way through them?

    The only reason not to have this added is laziness. Cannot think of another. +1

    As the !motd is an in-game browser, I'm sure that it would be easy to implement this. This would allow for easier access to the extended rules for clarification and education :sneaky: because learning the rules is cool. +1

    Another thing to consider is a link under the Rules drop-down menu on the website taskbar. +1

    I believe the MOTD on the servers points to this page, so to update the MOTD would be to update this link

    I mean the link to the MOTD rules is just fine as it is, I meant adding a link on the navbar drop-down titled "rules" that points to the extended rules thread.
    For example, here's the modification:

    HTML:
    <li><a href="rules/">Server Rules</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.seriousttt.com/threads/a-guide-to-sttt-extended-rules-info-tips-tricks.12605/">Extended Server Rules</a></li>
    <li><a href="rules/forum">Forum Rules</a></li>
    <li><a href="rules/teamspeak">TeamSpeak Rules</a></li>
    

    Instead of:

    HTML:
    <li><a href="rules/">Server Rules</a></li>
    <li><a href="rules/forum">Forum Rules</a></li>
    <li><a href="rules/teamspeak">TeamSpeak Rules</a>
    Edit: If this were to be implemented, I'm sure there's a better file path to the specific thread, but I don't have access to the website's files nor have I worked with XenForo in the past. Either way, the point is conveyed.
