I think it would be a good idea to create an omniurl.tk link to the rules, for example omniurl.tk/rules.
You could then replace the ugly link in the irc status with the new one (and also the link that Jarvis gives).
It will then be more clear and more easy to understand what that link does (especially for new users).

 

Yeah there was if I remember, but I was sure there was an actual link to the rules through OmniURL anyway.
