The rules should be In that link. The version up there before was one with unfinalised changes that were not supposed to be public yet. They were deleted to prevent misinformation If there is an issue with the link let us know.

Right now the Game Rules are a little hard to find. E.g. the link from the General Information Board is broken. Also, they are no longer accesible from the News and Information, the Game Moderation, the International News, and probably other forums.

Here's the link http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8088#p137060. These should be new rules. Not sure why the link in News and Information doesn't work.

Thanks!
I knew where to find them, I just wanted to point out the broken link and that they are not as easy to find as they used to be. I think this happened when the rules were accidentally replaced by the draft for new rules and then corrected again.

I am going to check out all the links and fix any that don’t work. Let me know if I miss any.

The issue raised by Occam is still outstanding. Mods, if you edit the Game Rules post to make it a "Global Announcement", that should place it in the "Announcements" section at the top of every single sub-forum.

The relocation of the Game Rules link means the links at the following locations are in need of correction:

Particracy Main Page

FAQ

Tutorial

General Information Board (RP Accord Index link also not working here, BTW)

In-game Moderation account

Cultural Protocols Index

This same problem occurred back in May, which was the last time Moderation changed the Game Rules link. In future, I really advise against changing the link again, so far as this is reasonably possible.

Additionally, please note that many of the Random Facts appearing along the bottom of the game screen have become a source of confusion, as they relate to outdated rules. It would be helpful if these could be removed or appropriately edited.

IMHO all this should have been fixed by now

Had a look at these and the main ones should now be fixed. The RP Accord index link will need to be looked at again. For the main page, only Wouter has access to it. Will now sort of that wiki link and the faq link. Will also review the random facts section for any outdated info. I do agree on the link staying the same however. I think to avoid problems in the future we will make sure to put the changes on the same linked page.

Unfortunately it’s not as simple as it seems. Remember that we are all volunteers giving up our free time for this. The main page link in particular will need to be Wouter as the Moderation account is not capable of making such edits.

The link for that can be found here. The Game Rules link there also needs to be fixed, BTW.

Indeed. Whilst appreciating he is a busy man, I would suggest urging him to attach some priority to fixing this, since the rules link on the main page of the game is an important one.
