My god, this all seems so complicated.
To be fair, we're in the middle of a big mess right now (we discovered a bug in a definition used by many rules, which means that many things don't work; we're working on a retroactive fix). That sort of mess happens every year or so.
(But then, Agora still is really complicated.)
The list of current rules is both impressive, and very intimidating https://agoranomic.org/ruleset/flr.txt
If you proposed a rule change that gave you infinite points, the other players would vote it down, because it's easy to see that that rule rewards you at their expense.
You can land self serving rules though, you've just got to be sneakier, and slip them in as loopholes or the like.
