- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

CS is a lot simpler to learn, I think, despite the similarly high skill ceiling. Getting good at CS involves a lot of the same skills as boomer shooters, just without the bhopping, rocket-jumping, memorizing/tracking respawn times for items, and stuff like that.
That, and in boomer shooters (at least in 1v1s / 2v2s) there's the issue of your opponent gaining so much momentum that it can be hard to get the items/resources you need to turn the tide back on them. But in CS it's relatively easy to turn the tide the next round with pistols or cheap SMGs.
