I like the way the rules are worded now, just because it's easy and simple to read. The thing about the rules is I don't really see them as a code of conduct. I've looked at other server's rules and they're written in a language almost like legalese. It puts me off from playing on those servers because I'm not looking to be a rules lawyer, hunting for loopholes and figuring out what I can get away with. I want to relax and enjoy a stupid game about spacemen burning each other in industrial (accidents?) fires.
I think the rules here are more like a benchmark of the kind of players we want to play here. I've seen that whenever an issue comes up where the rules seem to be limiting someone's fun or someone has said the rules are too harsh, that person is usually shown to have been not the kind of player that is wanted here. I think, for my part, that the rules are fine as they are, they set a standard for the type of people I want here as a player. Ultimately, the players that have treated the rules as some kind of code of conduct where they have to reign in some sort of behavior have shown a lack of control (usually multiple times) because they're trying to be someone that they obviously don't want to be. There are other servers with much looser rules in these areas, diversity is a good thing.
