You miss a bracket in your post there.

Good catch (that usually happens as I tend to hand-write my "quote" tags).
Alright, sorry. That was cloudy and fraudulent syntax at it's best. Basically, "why are things that way?" I can understand having sensitive information (like Pastebin's) being kept from the general public (or even the general user-base), but why in the world do we have the Rules (for submission) hidden in any way, shape, or form? Why is that not open for all to view?

I'll take the liberty to post it this way, to avoid spamming the thread itself.
Well, there's no other place to put them, hence the submission rule sets are posted within their respective forums. The idea is to add a portion to the FAQ (when you click "Rules" in the top drawer) that holds links to each rule set, so people can access them easily. However, that's still a project-in-progress, as it concerns HTML-Pages, and there are other things to do before working on that aswell.
That's why I said "for the time being".
Ralle could implement the shorter rules in HTML format in the submission forms, but as I said, there are other things to do before that step.
If there's anything you want to discuss further, you can PM me.
