Since I enjoy being a Grammar Hound, I'm going to post this in hope it's awarded a sticky and obeyed.
1: Use full words when your talking, Unless using some kind of fake accent or mocking someone who's mentally ill. I'm talking about making 'u' into a 'you'. It's much better.
2: Capitalize the words in a sentence that need to be capitalized. I gets a capital, and the start of a sentence likes one too.
3: Small things such as commas when their needed are very nice, and help add to your overall intelligence rating in the world of typing! Perhaps not, but it's an eyesore when a sentence becomes a run-on and doesn't stop.
4: 'L33T' is for gaming. This is a forum. Not gaming. Use it elsewhere on some game where people can laugh and challenge your idiotic rear for using it. Hopefully they'll teach you not. I obviously disapprove of it. However, some L33T every so often isn't that bad, I'm talking about excess.
5: Swearing isn't accepted. Big No-No. On a less childish point, Really, Don't. The site is against it, The rules say not to, and it takes away from the etiquette in which you speak.
6: Smileys are on my blacklist, but using the same one's over and over again, whilst over the rule, only proves one thing. Your good with the Control + V combination, Or you like pressing the icons at the top. They look very nice, but don't click them more then once. Would you like it if people constantly clicked you with arrows? Probably not.
7: Be sure to not make your posts one or more words long, making something like, "Cool." or "u" is considered S.P.A.M: Stupid, Pathetic, Agonizing, Message. We like it when you boast an opinion, or at least most of us do, but be sure to include some sort of reason.
8: No need to go to the last page of the threads and bring up some fossil from the old ages. No one's likely to care about a thread that old, and if they do, It's likely because of some old memory of it. Be kind to the old threads, and let them hold memories in their quiet, peaceful, and inactive state.
9: If someone is new, and supposedly, A 'Noob', That does not give anyone right to make fun of them. Also, calling someone with obvious experience new, by using something you think is an insult, only belittles your intelligence. Please, Treat the newcomers with respect. We all were one once.
10: Don't Harass people. Really, Be Kind, Respectful, and Understand the person's point of view. Maybe the Xbox is better, but only in some aspects. No need to say the PS2 is a Horrible gaming device, which it isn't, in my opinion anyways.
11: Secrets are meant to remain secret. Unlike most video games, there isn't meant to be a place where we can go to find all the secrets and things we'd like to find out ourselves. For the sake of those whom may be reading, and want to find it, Please don't post it on the board.
If it's really stumping someone, and they truly need help, It could be PMed to them without any trouble. No one but the person who needs it has to see it, and the mods aren't given any trouble. Sounds fair to me.
12: Perhaps posting the answer to a question isn't considered spamming, But when someone's done it, and you only chime in to say the exact thing, Isn't helpful unless you point out something else.
This is a more direct reference to those whom post little add ons that aren't needed, Or go rather out of hand. If it's an accident, and they just beat you to the post, Should be alright, But adding on space by just repeating the already said isn't the best thing to do.

Thank you for reading. You may take a cookie now.
-I would appreciate anyone putting a sticky on this for people to read. Seems to include some more direct rules and examples of what not to do.-
I realize that some of them were already stated, but [glow=purple,2,300]It makes a good reminder.
