So a few minutes ago I was editing the rules of a game with a fellow moderator and I was wondering why I couldn't see the rules that he had edited. I know that it takes a little bit for the site to load the changes but how long does it typically take for them to change?

This tends to happen whenever the site is under high server load. It can take a few hours or even a day for rule changes or leaderboard category changes to show.

However there is a bit of a workaround. Go to the leaderboard in question, use a filter like Filter-> Obsoleted Runs -> Shown, or Filter -> Videos -> With Only, or Filter -> Platform -> (Pick a platform).

Now click on "View Rules", and they should be updated. Note that as soon as you reload the page or turn off the filters, you will be unable to see the rule changes. Note also that if you make an initial rule change, use a filter, then change the rules again, you will have to use a different filter to see the second rule change. Anyways hope this at least helps a bit, it should allow you to see if new rules are formatted correctly right away, if nothing else.
