The only forum I can think members can create rules for their threads would be Unofficial Contests and Games, and that's because the member is actually making the game to be played in the thread. And even with that, there is an approval process the member must undergo before his game can be played by others. Generally speaking, no, we do not encourage members to be making their own rules, as it will likely turn into mini-modding at some point or another. Even if innocent at first, reminders could become belligerent, and it's really best for the forum staff to handle such things. This same problem prohibits a re-enforcing of rules by members as well. If you see rule-breaking in a thread, you should never attempt to deal with the issue yourself. Instead, please PM an ArchKnight of the section, or failing that, an online Moderator. If you wanted to create a thread that required a specific format or something similar, you should really speak to the head of the forum section before doing so. Then you can work out any details before the thread actually goes live, and avoid any problems.
