Rules revised, 27 July 2006:

1. Created seperate section for advertising rules
2. Added two new advertising rules
3. Moved a rule into the new section for advertising rules.

I would like to ask users to take the time to reread the rules to make sure they are up-to-date with the current rules.

I would also like to thank users who help to make DCT a better place by abiding by our rules.
