Rule change for Keryo-Pente and Gomoku

I have been notified from many of you that the rules for Keryo-Pente and Gomoku are not exactly correct at DSG.
Previously Keryo-Pente was not enforcing the tournament rule that is used in Pente. I had assumed incorrectly that it didn't apply to Keryo-Pente. I have now turned on the tournament rule for Keryo-Pente.
Previously Gomoku was counting an overline (more than 5 stones in a row) as a win. This is apparently incorrect and has been changed. Overlines are still allowed, they just won't win the game.
Dweebo, just in case no one told you yet, 6 in a row now does not win in pente eoither, apparently. Last night samwise and frockman were playing and one of them got 6 in a row and the game did not end. They were playing pente, not go-moku.
If I do not accept a game invite right away, it means I will once I have fewer games in progress.
