Nope, not necessary. Just toss them in the pail with the wet dipes.

Nope. If it is newborn ebm poop I just throw the whole thing in the diaper pail as is. When I do the wash, I put the load through a rinse cycle first so I'm not washing in poopy water.

I always read people say it is not necessary, but it definitely has been necessary for us. Otherwise, it gets smeared around and just caked on everything.

Totally not necessary. I never did it and my diapers came out clean as could be. Sometimes they had light staining, but I just laid them out in the sun if so.

I never did either. Never a problem until starting solids. Now I use liners!!!

I get massive staining (looks like it hasn't been washed even after a couple washes) if I don't & obvious staining if I do. I don't have a sprayer, so it's a pita, but I think I'm going to have to until I can get my own washer & actually have a rinse cycle.

I never rinsed. Way too much work, and way too messy. I do think a prewash cycle or rinse cycle before your regular wash helps a lot, though. And the worst that can happen is they need to be washed twice occasionally, which is a simple matter of turning the machine back on a second time. For me, that was WAY easier than rinsing or dunking or spraying.

If the stains are not coming off, just lay your diapers out in the sun. The sun will naturally bleach them. Also, if you dont have your own washer I would just wash twice rather than rinsing. Good Luck!!
