im trying to get a rules section up, usualy theres a rules page on the default forum you can edit, weres is it?
In the admin-cp, when you add a new forum, or edit one.
is there no global rules were there is a link in the header or something?
I don't think so, but you can add one, if you like to.

tutorial to include your own rules page or any page in mybb.
