Since alot of people seem to be forgetting the rules, you could have a "text box" (for lack of a better word) like the one saying the text markup tags, Stating some often-broken rules.
Like:
~ No Double or Triple-Posting
~ No political or religous discusions
~ No Bumping
~ Pay attention to what forum your in so you
can put your post in the right place
~ No spam
~ Before you post, its nice to check the front page for similar or even the same posts.
And etc.. with whatever else.
I don't know if anyone already mentioned it (sorry, didn't read all the posts from the discussion) but maybe spell checking before submitting should be included?
Now, about your idea, I think it has possibilites. If it has convenient placement on the website that doesn't upset the current B.net layout or the user's screen (we don't want on-screen congestion) then it might just work. It could work out like a subliminal message. Most would see it and gradually disregard it, but the genius thing about subliminal messages is that without even knowing, the user is bending to its will because the list will always be there and their eyes will always pass over it. It'll be the Bungie.net way of conforming!
P.S. - Subliminal messages aren't all that bad, but, just in case, you didn't hear that from me.
