Tweaking to the wording of server rule 4.4

What's the title of your suggestion?: Tweaking to the wording of server rule 4.4

What's your suggestion?:
In the forums post "Rules - Terminology and Server Rules" Rule 4.4 states "You cannot be older, or younger than your IC age." This should perhaps be changed to something along the lines of "Your characters age cannot be older or younger than the officially listed minimum, maximum, or singular age grouping for your grade." Or simply "Your characters age cannot be older or younger than the listed required age grouping for each grade" for a shorter and more to the point rule.

How will this benefit the server and community?:
When I joined I believed that this rule meant "Your character cannot be older your younger than your OOC age" which contradicted with the IC age requirements listed for each grade. Changing the wording of this rule to be more specific will help clear up misconceptions like this in the future. I myself spent a few days searching the forums in confusion for a potential explanation such as "maybe there's a ticket or I skip the grades I'm too old for" before giving up and asking in the help channel.

I agree with changing this rule's wording since it's kind of vague. However, I think there's a misconception going on here, at least from the way I see it.

The rule itself states that your character cannot be older or younger than their in-game set age (aka, the age number that shows up in your description). While it is true that players can't surpass or go under the age limits for their role(s), I think what this rule means is that a character's age is tied to the age number that shows up in their description

If this is the case (correct me if I'm wrong), it could be reworded as

- "Your character's age must be the same as, and can't differ from the one stated in your character profile."
