I agree most heartily with Gandalf.
But it would help if the host would put in large flaming-red colors the rule(s) which are not to be broken.
This would set them apart in a very obvious way.
Then it is in the players face and the player is much less likely to ignore or forget it.
Also, the "not to be broken rules" would be easier to find for those of us who happen to be a bit absent minded and needed to look them up later.
