If yes, you should rather look for answer at http://www.freeciv.org

First, how is it related to rules? Wouldn't forum be better to ask the question?
Second, LT9 will start near September, but it's full. You can wait until someone will be idler and will be removed, or until LT10 will start, or you can sign to neverending experimental game.
As became clear in this
As became clear in this discussion there are inconsistencies and gaps in the Game Rules, specifically rule number 10.
I've updated the Rules of the Ranking List to take away some of these gaps and inconsistencies (see here for the list of rules), and I think many of the changes and new formulations of rules could be applied to the Game Rules as well. I'm willing to revise the Game Rules as well, to create one complete list of rules.
I'm always interested in comments and advise about the rules of the Ranking List, the most suitable place for that is this forum topic.

7. If players is idle for 10
7. If players is idle for 10 turns or more, or 3 turns after he game is started or player is added to game, he might be removed.
Rule #7: should be modified to "If player is idle for 10 turns or more during the game, or 3 turns at the begining of the game or after player being initially added to the game".
Also, I think 10 turns it too long to wait during a game. Should I make a poll on this?

Hmm, where is difference?

I think it isn't too long. But of course you can make poll on this.
There are 2 changes - one is
There are 2 changes - one is a typo "he" -> "the". The second is a more subtle change. The phrase "3 turns after the game is started" is misleading as the game is always "started" or else there would be no game to make moves.
Maybe we need to rethink this part anyway as we have started using the first turn is ~72 hrs and you must make move in first turn or be replaced.
