As most things I have issue with, were already mentioned. I've got some technical suggestions.
The RP rules cannot be just linked from the main rules, they have to be on the same page as the main rules.
Today I went reading through all the rules again to know exactly what they are, and I almost missed the RP rules even though I was looking for them.
And as I'm writing this, I wanted to check again, I go to wiki, click rules, I already know that RP rules are either in the "footer" or at the end of one of the sections. Footer was too much scrolling... So I spend about a minute looking for them... Again...
Other problem is, how do the sections of the rules interact? Are RP rules extension to basic rules? Are they completely disconnected? Just because they're #10 in basic rules I guess they extend them. But in what way?
Is BR suggestion "Being a jerk to people is expected and almost necessary in this game" overwritten by RR "Play out your role believably.", which would basicaly allow only clowns to be jerks.
I know that even normal workers can be jerks, but how many would steal important things, which is one of the "jerk" examples. And people usually imagine much worse things when they think about being a jerk in game vs RP situations.
I think the best way to do this would be making the rules "splitscreen". Vertical split, one side Basic, other side Roleplay. Some of the rules would be put into both sections (Don't grief, listen to admins...), because this is a case where repetition doesn't hurt. And rules that are different or have slight changes, wouldn't need to be guessed.
Having them both go from the top of the screen ensured that people know there are different rules on different server, and they wouldn't get bored of reading, without reaching the RP rules.
And again, I know that not knowing the rules isn't an excuse, but that can be dealt with only after 20 people had a ruined hour of playing.
