   Recruits needed:
   
   Are you the kind of Hubber who:
   
   (1)    Loves to point out the hub rules to all other Hubbers, especially to the Noobs, after all you’ve been here for months or years and they should damn well ‘Respect My Authorata!'
   
   
   (2)    Instead of trying your best to post helpful replies to threads even if you’ve come across them a fair few times (after all they’re new, they don’t know you’ve had to read it a 1000 times before) you prefer to dish out your wisdom in short snappy doses such as ‘This is not the forum for this, this does not belong here, have you not read the TOS?’ always in a patronizing manner.
   
   If you can answer yes to at least one of the above, then we need YOU to help make Hubpages a more controlled and regulated but less fun and helpful place to be.
   
   Don’t hesitate, ‘Sign up now!’

   Sign me up anyway. I don't know enough about the rules but I can come up with nice new ones.
   
   Like On Mondays, between the hours of this and that, all hubbers must produce one top quality article that is bloody brilliant and backlinked from here to the moon. With nice shiny tags too.
