Having re read this i realize i sound like a grumpy old man but we are grumpy because we have experience

Is it possible to have the rules displayed at the start of each session? I have seen similar messages on the public forums giving basic rules / server details etc. My thinking is that a lot of people will not have looked at the regulation page when they signed up much like not reading the small print (i'm guilty of that).
Personally i feel chat should be allowed as i enjoy the social aspect of the racing. I guess the rule is there as chat is difficult to police. Maybe a little guidance. eg no swearing/abuse etc?

This is for AC. I don't know if it can apply to other sims.

when it causes contact or a wreck, some rule is broken generally...never understood the chat thing because people do chat in the box. They wouldn't notice the lobby page of the server anymore than the website rules and even if they did, would not follow the rules.
