Re: Move RPR 10 to the general rules

RR 10 is mostly a louder version of the unwritten rule that is applied across all servers. Rule 4 has already been reworded such that it isn't totally unrestricted; it has to still follow the major 'no exceptions' rules like metacomms and rule 8. I can't imagine Rule 6 is one they are allowed to ign...

It's weird that the roleplay rules already have this solved; act like security, and be held to their standards.
