+1000! It would force them to atleast look at the material. You could also have a lock out if you fail 3 times or so. Then they must wait an hour before they take it again.(study time)
i'd actually just tell them straight-out that they must read the rules, and TOS before entering the server with the admi tag on. if they're caught violating the TOS or rules, they're done. immediately. either drop down to the new-ish "admins' bitch" level (sanctioned powers) or straight-out remove their admin. allow them to get it again after the next month (basically, the next time pay pal sends in the money) and completely ignore the previous events. fresh slate, as it were. EXCEPT that if they mess up again their admin is removed permenantly (but the subscription on paypal is not changed)
the fact is is that we shouldn't be forcing people to read the TOS and rules before becomming admins, but we SHOULD go forward assuming they've been read and thus be harsh in our judgements.
THIEF!
yes, its been spinning around in my head for some time, a quiz like this would force users who want to become admin to use the TOS to answer the questions provided to them. Which means they have seen and read the TOS, when they pass, this would eliminate any excuses they may have in regards to abuse and rules.
it would be impossible for me to fail a test regarding the rules of the servers and TOS.
Personal reform
this idea has been brought up many a time before...
