RS Website Rules Location
Quick find code: 278-279-663-66172013
Tremendous idea and some good points to bring up! The rules should be made much more accessible than they currently are - I agree
I think the best area to relocate the rules would be under the "Community" or the "Game Guide" dropdown menu on the header of the site.

MEXK, I see your point, but 'hiding' them, people won't even try to find them. If they were in sight maybe people would check it, just for curiosity.
Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts !

Oh I definitely agree it does not make sense to hide them; and I certainly would not mind a link in the Game Guide drop-down. I suppose there is an argument to be made akin to that Ana makes regarding the Forums Code of Conduct being prominently on display: If the rules are easy to find, it is harder to feign ignorance. In either case though, we still need people to read, understand, and respect them

Stand up for what is right, even if you stand alone

I'm only seeing the Rules listed in the Footer on each page. Unless those are the '3 times' you're referring to, in that they're on the footer on each page? I can't see how then adding a link under the Game Guide dropdown would result in players being 'slapped in the face'.
Also remember that most people don't like reading very much. I'm willing to bet that most people don't actually read the entirety of the contents of each page of the Game Guide.
For what it's worth, the Rules of RuneScape is actually categorised under the Game Guide (see the url).

Do we know how many folks, of those who have asked about where the rules are on the RSOF, have then continued to use the RSOF semi-periodically? If people are coming to the RSOF because they want something in particular, they've no reason to come back unless they want something else, or if they see something that they like. So while yes it potentially results in an increase, the increase is arguable negligible. Is it really worth hiding something like the rules on the prospect that it may result in increased attendance on the RSOF by asking for where they are? Few people are arguably looking for the rules in the first place. It seems very conditional, and not worth the hassle imo.
