Full Rules Changelog

[ryanroo2]

The mod and admin teams have worked together to condense several rules, remove redundancies, and clarify some odd word choices. The rules page is now about half the size of the original! Special thanks goes out to @MaxBuster and @Max for originally starting this project and getting it off the ground. Despite the new look and rule IDs, most of the rules will still be treated similarly. Some major changes to note are:
- The simplified rules page has been removed.
- The Autoclicker/Macro rule has undergone some substantial changes.
- The Exploits rule now explicitly prohibits spread of information about an exploit or bug, and notes what to do when one is discovered.
- Section 8 of the prior rules list was removed, and the clause about reaching the punishment threshold has been moved to the preamble.

Changelog
Additions:

• Rule 2.2 (autoclickers) has received a new definition.

This means the two separate buttons for the different rule pages are gone, which just hid the other one. Also the preamble is too thin on mobile.
