New Short Sales Rules

So in two weeks apparently they are instituting new short sale rules which are something like as follows

If a stock is down 10 percent you can not hit the bid to get short, you must be taken on the offer

Also, if your firm is collectively short more than they are long, if you are long while the rest of the firm is short you have to be taken on the offer to get out of the stock.. otherwise youre going to melt down with the stock ... so if you get long before you find out its fraud and your firm is short youre going to be fucked and held down the whole way down

and this rule persists for the day after any -10 percent downmove.

If you can find anything definitive, I'd love to take a look. They've been talking about new short sales rules for months, but I'm not aware of any concrete decisions.
