I feel like these rules are much better suited for OT than they are for Spam. I guess they kind of apply to the occasional Spam thread that delves into a meaningful topic, but those are far from the focus of Spam. Trying to apply these rules to Spam as a whole would mean you're leaving out a lot of key points at best, and just providing bad and/or unusable advice at worst. I stand by my point that OT would be a much nicer place if people followed these rules over there, though.

They're not necessarily rules just tips, for a good first impression I suppose. Again, no one has to follow them, they're just there in case they're needed.
