Worked on the spoilers for 2.4 and 2.5, adding things that were in the rules before and are (as far as I know) still being enacted as "unwritten rules".

Because I care more for what's really constructive by being good for the community, server, and admins, than for what a few people may and may not "like".
Because the current presentation of the rules makes them unnecessarily long and hard to read, more inaccessible than they need to be, very obsolete in places, and leaving a bad impression of discovery to the kind of people the game is allegedly intended for (people who actually read and who want to do more than just shoot and troll around).
Because the way their presentation was improved here makes rules faster and easier to understand, up to date, and overall presented in a less amateurish way, with minimal work left to do for admins while putting them into place, and with a better result than anyone else has ever produced and anyone is therefore likely to ever produce.
Because interactions on the server and forums would be more fun if new people were able to learn rules and game mechanics faster. More fun for new people, more fun for those who like to interact with new people, and also more fun for those who don't care about new people, because they'll be annoyed by the results of new people's ignorance less.
Because making rules easier to understand and more accessible will help the admins too, by reducing rule violations as well as ever-reoccurring questions.
Because there is no good reason to not to put these rules into place. But if there is one that I don't see, I could adapt things accordingly if someone told me about it.
Because admins haven't given any reason, nor said that they wouldn't put them in place.
Because although admins haven't given comments and criticisms as requested, there can be several reasons for that, not just those alleged by a few people who had clear personal agendas (recognizable through their use of multiple logical fallacies, absence of constructiveness, and exhibition of purely personal matters to the public eye). Maybe (and I think this is very likely) admins are unsure or divided on what to do, and don't want to make a comment that could be understood as an admin-team endorsement of me doing this.
Because if admins sent out the message that they really are able and willing to look over personal feelings (whether they're about my ego, their own, or the egos of people they feel loyal/indebted to) when doing their job (as the rules promise), it could greatly restore faith (which has been gradually lost long before most of the current people were admins) in the integrity of discoverygc admins in general.
Because admins would do themselves and the community a huge favor if they presented the rules as shown here (or gave suggestions on how to improve it), and a huge dis-service if they didn't.
