Make the rules more specific.

[ModSe7en]

As in add more examples to the thread (friendly hale and hoovy parties next to griefing, micspam next to spam, etc.) to stop dumb "unban me" threads.
Would elaborate more, but keyboard is fucked up atm.

Even if it was in the rules people would still do it because people are idiots.

It won't stop dumb "unban me" threads

People will latch onto the specific examples even if you say they're just examples.

Maybe we should implement a "Wondering Why You We're Banned? Common Ban Confusion FAQs" sticky thread in the bans section.

Also pointless since they can't even seem to see this sticky: http://www.skial.com/threads/requests-that-dont-follow-this-format-will-be-ignored.28/

but then you can redirect them to that thread as you guys already do with the one you just mentioned,
instead of explaining to them what they did wrong.
