The fact is your forum is looking like another forum (global design I mean) so people think the rules are the same everywhere (and it's the case with 99.9% forums).
It's vBulletin, vBulletin will always look like vBulletin. Pointing it out is irrelevant since it's obvious. Our forum skin does look different from most since it is custom to us, but it still has that vBulletin look. If people think the rules are the same just because you're implying people think the design is the same, then they are stupid. Every forum has different rules, besides the very most basic rules (trolling, insulting, etc). Not sure where you received this bit of information but it is wrong, very wrong.
Lol your forum looks like another forum : I mean it has squares, rectangles, avatars, etc.
Don't feel offended. I prefer your dark theme too !
And that's what I said, people do not read because they think it's the same kind of forums. I almost made the same mistake but I remembered it wasn't allowed.
What site doesn't have "squares, rectangles and avatars?" You're practically pointing out every single website on the web fitting that description, forum or not. And again, not sure where you're getting your information but people do not read because they don't care to, not because they think the rules on the forum are the same (which if they do, again, they are dumb).
We explicitly told people to read the rules and they did not. We removed the section because of it. It is not a matter of forums being the same or other people using the same forum software, it is the fact that people DO NOT CARE to use their most basic skill: reading.
P.S: Not sure what you wrote was offensive, because it wasn't.
