improve next rules and guidelines
Changed version from "2024-06-11-v28" to "2024-06-15-v28'. Changed all places where a date was used. Improved the "XXX - date/time is TBD - XXX" message format. Removed more stuff about tweeting that we no longer do. Added a few missing | change marks. As we fixed a rules typo, we went ahead and merged in a few of the new rules that were pending.
