Recently I updated the rules to say that answers (not whole posts) will be disqualified if formatting rules are not followed. (that’s what I meant, at least.)

It’s actually worded ambiguously:

> [@Feud Rules](#):
>
> If they are not followed, your answers may be **DISQUALIFIED**.
> 
> 1. answer
> 2. answer
> 3. answer
> 4. answer

Next week, starting Monday, March 3, **Rules will be enforced.** I will still accept answers where typos are present. Nobody’s perfect all the time! It’s the blatant disregard of the formatting rules (or lack of reading them!) that I’m talking about.

The Poll:

a) only disqualify poorly-formatted answers  
b) disqualify the entire entry

I will let this run until Saturday morning, 10:00 am.

Let me know what y’all would prefer.

Not a valid answer! I really want your input, please.

disqualify the entire post. The rules post is there for a reason - if you cannot follow the rules, pay the price.

Question: if the post/time limit hasn’t been reached, will you allow a properly formatted repost (of the original answers only)?

Yes, but I’m not going to issue warnings/reminders - because I might not always get there in time.

Track them down and eliminate them. Remove their children, it must be stopped here and now.

Another reason to disqualify the entire entry is to give someone who DOES understand the EXTRAORDINARILY SIMPLE rules a chance to play.
