I guess some people who don't know the rules and aren't used to mailing
lists (which includes looking for guidelines before posting) are people
who would rather subscribe through a web interface.

An idea would be, while keeping the usual mailing list stuff (the
ability to subscribe by sending an email to a specified address and so
on), having a web subscription interface that would drive the user
through two or three slides concisely explaining some important rules,
and how to unsubscribe.

Of course /then/ some people would skip the slides...
