Comments policy
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Well, first off, you won't make much of a name for yourself here, even if you are uber. Jim writes for the site and it's not like the entire community has flocked to Morphine Nation because of it... so don't think that Dtoid is the road to fame and glory (you didn't anyway, of course). If you want to get recognised here, it's a bit of a full time job. You gotta be on the forums, on the clogs, posting decent comments on everything and be interested in it all as well, take part in all the community projects like Fake Game Friday, competitions, etc., on stickam with the rest of the community, on Ventriollo, the list goes on, and you gotta be awesome the whole time. And really, that's pretty hard to maintain, and kinda unrealistic.
When it comes to writing blogs, you're best bet is to try and be cynical, unique and intelligent. I think it works on the premise of "Hehe, ah right, I hadn't thought of that!"
Other than that, just read other people's blogs, try to make friends (influential ones are the best) and just generally don't suck.
