Could someone explain the point of the ten square rule? It makes little difference to how long a siege camp takes to reach it's target, and a 2 week wait for diplomatic missions would be far more effective in preventing zerg thieveing

I imagine it could relate to sovereign claims? Although 5 squares might seem better for that, we still await the Chancery of Estates. It WOULD be a bummer to have a really big player move in and take over your small city's chance of claiming sovereignty after you'd claimed a spot. At least the way it is they have to go to the trouble of sieging you. A larger player could of course settle a completely new city right next to your awesome dolmen, but at least he would take a while to grow.

After clicking on the I wish to move here button, I get this: lUnable to complete request Issue relocating town: Arithmetic overflow error converting int to data type numeric. Which doesn't help when trying to move. I'll throw it into a petition too.

Can't convert int to numeric? That's pretty weird.

I agree. However, it's a challenge to place sovereignty from a newly placed city or as a new player. Having a zone of exclusion around a city would give new cities and new players a chance to claim sovereignty. If someone wants to compete for sovereignty, they can settle a new city close by or siege the person closer to the sov -- not an impossibility, just more of a challenge. (I'm not advocating either action, just pointing out gameplay possibilities.)
I was reflecting that the 10-square rule seems to make it a little more work to claim the desirable sov, making it easier for the first settler to compete even if the person is smaller, and that could be a possible justification -- I was not saying that people should not compete for sov.
I am not advocating for or against the 10-square rule. I am pointing out an effect that it has that some people might see as desirable.

Haven't spotted in this thread any reply to an earlier question about someone possibly settling a location while your city is lumbering towards it. This is something I was wondering myself. The obvious answer is that an initiated move locks in that location. But is that the case? Otherwise, great!

The progress bar on the move city page provides an idea of when the city will arrive and you will receive a notification when the city actually arrives.
