You can't force people to read the rules; even with all these "solutions", they still wouldn't read them because they are focused on the registration.
Maybe one solution would be to "force" visitors to read them AFTER they have registered...Then again, they would probably skip that too.

I read the rules just so I knew what they are to stay out of trouble.

Perhaps one thing that could be done is when they click on "Complete Registration" (or whatever it is...I registered back in late 2005, so I know it's changed a lot since then prolly) redirect them to a page with the rules already written, along with having to enter the code sent to their email (or have a verification link that when clicked, verifies their account, while displaying all the rules on that same page).

Will they read it? Maybe, maybe not...but at least that way the rules are "right there"
