Rule 0

Don’t Fuck With Cats- Originated in a NetFlix documentary (Don’t F*** with Cats), it is described as an “unwritten rule” / Precautionary Warning to people who post in online media not to create content that demonstrates the abuse, neglect, or cruelty towards cats / kittens (and extending to pretty much all little furry creatures).

It basically implies that there are hordes of people who love / support animals, and these people will go to great lengths to identify & retaliate against the abuser for their cruel actions, up to and including using illicit means to identify the abuser, and in turn, assaulting or even killing the assaulter and their friends/ family.
Although anything goes on the internet, that dumb fuck didn’t follow Rule 0 when he posted himself killing a cat on YouTube. Animal activists tracked his IP, burned down his mothers house and then went to his work and beat his fucking ass to unconsciousness!

Rule 0

The unwritten rule of tabletop Role Playing Games (but can be applied elsewhere). It says:

"Don't be a dick."

It essentially means players should treat each friendly and with respect.

If someone intentionally does something inappropriate, or acts maliciously towards another player or players, he's breaking Rule 0.

Particular behavior breaking the rule may differ according to a game you are playing. For example, some RPGs are designed as competitive games, while others are cooperative. Behaviour common in the first type could be sometimes considered bad (breaking the Rule 0) in the latter.
In most games, killing another player's character without proper reason* qualifies as breaking Rule 0.

* other than "I wanted your loot / I wanted to earn XP by killing you / I did it for the lulz" etc...

rule 0

This rule applies to people who are clingy to their significant other, and posts their "true love" on their websites. This rule takes them from "cute" and "tolerable" to "straight up annoying" and should be ignored.

Rule 0

The most basic rule of the internet: Don't fuck with cats.

Due to the internet being built on the backs of cat videos and pictures, the internet will track down anyone seen abusing a cat.
