The forum "rules" are more of guidelines that the more senior members have set down as an example. They were not made by the admins, nor have they recieved any support or input from pixbits. So if you really wanted, you could completely disregard all of them. But eventually after annoying enough people you would end up banned. There have been many small aditional "rules" and guidelines that the community has come up with over the years that are not mentioned in threads such as these. Eg, Posting pictures, unless the thread is in report bugs, most people choose to place pictures inside a spoiler, it's not a "rule", but a guideline.
Double posting is frowned upon, because we have an edit button. If it's been a significant amount of time, eg a week and nobody replied, then you can post on the same topic again to add something useful.
