Like that, according to their help page. To make a rules thread like the ones you've seen, post it, then tick the box and click "stick thread" in the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page, then "Go." This places the thread at the top of the forum, outside the normal posting order.



Then do the same, but click "close thread" before "Go." You now have a thread that's always at the top of the forum and which nobody can reply to.

I'll look into this more. I guess I haven't explored my options well enough.
