Moonridden: ~15 more hours of continuing page cleanup. I've done a mixture of condensing, expanding, and reorganization of the layout of all of the policies. The Legal and Age section is now extremely clear. I've softened language and cleaned up some sass I found. There was atleast one bushism. There is now only one copy of the Tap Out Rule. Just a bunch of stuff. I hope the formatting doesnt esplode. I'll make a tl;dr and ping with it later.
