Amendment to the rules

ref. ID: 2024-12-23-02

In revision 4326, an additional subsection has been added to the rules under the section "Moderation Team":

All judgments shall be recorded.

For better transparency, the logging of judgments has been done since the founding of the server. To further protect the rights of players, this amendment writes this legal custom into statute.
