Ignorance is not an excuse. Those users should be warned and politely pointed 
to documentation so they can learn.

The fact that you might not be familiar with traffic rules does not mean you are 
allowed to go through a red light. And it is a Very Good Thing if someone 
tells you that you need to learn the rules and adjust your behavior.

Posting in HTML on this list is not a life threatening thing, however, and so 
we don't have strict rules or laws, but only guidelines. Nevertheless, 
everyone should familiarize with them, it is good social behavior.

Best, :-)
