Updated Google Quality Rater Guidelines now a 404

[engine]

It appears the latest and updated Google Quality Rater Guidelines document is now a 404

It was here [static.googleusercontent.com...]

There appears to be no explanation, so it could be an error, or there might be a valid reason for it going. There's nothing from Google on the topic.

Perhaps they decided it should be an internal file.

It works in the latest versions of Firefox,Opera and Chrome.

Now, if only someone could find a working link for the late lamented Pure Spam [google.com] page, which now redirects to--ahem! cough-cough!--an entirely unrelated page. I used to check this avidly every now and then with much the same feelings as watching a hideous accident scene.

Ditto, works here in Firefox. Seems to have the exact same file size as version I downloaded several days ago, so it's unlikely that it's been changed.

Thanks, lucy. I checked source on the post, and the // is there, at /en// ....

I'll leave it as is for engine to check, and to fix if he likes... It might be useful to him for diagnosis.
