Streamer Smackdowns: The Rules of Engagement Rule 1: Don't be a jerk. Seriously, don't be a jerk. Rule 2: Socks are optional, unless you're playing with our socks. Those are not optional. Rule 3: Trolls are tolerated, but only in small doses. Prolonged exposure to trolls can cause permanent damage. Rule 4: Cheat codes are not cheating, but using them to get better at a game you're bad at is just plain sad. Rule 5: Don't get smacked down. Trust us on this one.
