Manners - What constitutes good or bad manners?

There has been a lot of debate over good and bad manners and no one can really figure out which is acceptable and which is not. The obvious ones like "gg noob" after scoring one kill is bad manners. So after much research I have the results.

The first is the most obvious. Saying GG before a game is over. What exactly is it. GG pretty much means good game. Most games start off with a GLHF as in good luck have fun then end with a GG. There are some variations like GGWP and BG which are good game well played and bad game with the latter being bad manners.

Saying GG after you score a kill or suffer a death is considered bad manners. Its the same as going "just give up you lose or my team is full of retards just push and end it we're gonna lose."

The winner cannot say GG before the loser at any time of the game or it is considered bad manners. It doesn't matter if you are pushing into his base and you scouted that he has no expansions. You just don't do that.

Alternatively the loser cannot leave the game without saying GG or it is considered rage quitting and bad manners. The winner will then be allowed to follow up with a GG.

If you are losing, concede honorably. This means if your shit is getting destroyed don't run an SCV away and build supply depots like a dipshit.

As you can see, saying GG is pretty complex! Its the most debated one because some people go apeshit when someone calls out GG while others go whats the big deal. However there are more little things such as talking shit to the enemy team.

If you're having a team fight keep it amongst the team. Once your team chat starts flowing into all chat then it is considered bad manners towards the other team. No one wants to hear your shit.

Calling people out on their mistake if you're not going to help or teach them is bad manners as well.

A person can call themselves a noob, but someone cannot call another person a noob.

Talking using caplocks is never appropriate. It makes you sound like a raging baby so don't do that.

Camping in FPS although sometimes acceptable can be considered bad manners. However spawn camping is always considered bad manners.

Having to pause the game because you forgot to take a shit before starting the round or you have to take your dog out to shit is bad manners. No one wants to wait for the one person on the team or in the game because they didn't take a shit. This also includes quitting because you didn't have enough time to finish the game.

This is all I can think of at this time. Pretty much one basic rule to remember, don't be an asshole. Follow that and you'll be fine
