Wow. Ever been to theAnimal Crossing Wild World board? It's a battlefield! Naturally, there are the know-it-alls, the newbinators, and the average people. Some people can't spell, and others choose not to let on that they can. If you're one of the aggressive know-it-alls, you might want to turn off your computer for a few years. If you're a newbinator, you might want to cut the wires to your keyboard and just read the threads for a while. And if you're one of the average people, avoid the know-it-alls and the newbinators at all costs--branching out is good, but here it's deadly.

Hmm...Let's make some rules. Not rules as in bring out the whip, but rules as in guidelines to keep you out of trouble on the boards. Alright:

1. Don't tell people their opinion is wrong.

2. ALWAYS check the faqs before you ask a game-related question. Someone is bound to be hunched over their keyboard, just waiting for you to ask where to find something so they can shoot you down with a link to a faqs page.

3. Let typos slide.

4. Sometimes not replying is the safest thing to do.

5. Last but not least, LIGHTEN UP! :)

I'm sure as my Gamespot days continue, there will be many more rules, but those seem like the most important for now. Well, I'm gonna split. If you have a rule to add, I'd love to hear it. :) Ttfn!
