Making everyone aware of the rules has always been an issue with forums an i think will remain to be until those browsing tend to care enough to read them. I must admit i am guilty of being lazy and not reading them well enough.
I think the easiest way to address this problem is put a line in the info of the forum. For instance, i think posting thanks is an issue, put "DO NOT POST THANKS USE THE BUTTON" in the info underneath the Title. Or use "UNNESESSARY REPLYING WILL RESULT IN GETTING BANNED". Making them more apparent will have the desired affect. Plus having a better english speaking memberlist would help :)
Perhaps you could also do what i do. Make the user have to get 10 posts before being able to access certain sections. This way they could be taught the right way whilst learning to post.
