'Please take a read of the rules'

[Tingle]

My proposition originates from the obvious problem that when a player is told to read the rules before they rejoin or come off a ban, they do not read them. It's clear they're not reading them because they come back and do the exact same thing again. Or maybe they have read them but in their ignorance have chosen not to follow them.

The suggestion is a 'general rule understanding test' which would be similar to the COP and TOW tests for example, but instead it is testing a general understanding of the rules. If they fail to achieve a high enough pass mark, they remain banned until they do so.

I think this would wipe out a fair amount of the persistent offenders who can't even understand English or who don't know how to use Google Translate to make sense of the rules in their native language. It'd also be nice if anti-cheating measures were put in place, though this would of course have its limitations, so the offenders do not get their friends to take the tests for them (e.g. the only English speaking member/leader of a team, not referring to any team in particular, takes the test for all of his members because they eventually end up banned and have to sit the test).

Clarification: Only those who have been requested by an admin to read the rules would be subject to the test. Everybody would be in a good state to begin with.
