The only unspoken gaming rule I can think of is that being accused of cheating, hacking or other forms of noobery (when none has been committed) is the highest compliment in an online gaming environment.
One of the things I will never do in a multiplayer game is spawn camping. It seems like the quickest way to guarantee nobody on the other team has fun and you won't either since you're just mowing down people through the use of a cheap strategy. I may do things that could be considered spawn camping by some, but never something that deliberately aims to keep the enemy permanently locked inside of their spawn. It's no fun for them and I don't enjoy doing it either.
I can't think of any games that actually have a rule against spawn camping so I would say that this is an unspoken rule. It's just one of those things you don't do because you're not an asshole. It's just unfortunate that there is always the occasional jerk that gets other people to go along with his idea to ruin the fun for everyone else.

Really? One of the big ones is spelling "Gaming" right 
I mean, it's right there on the Board title...
Also: If someone tells you to stop doing something in text chat, then says it by mic, then says "Final warning, stop", you're better off stopping. Why? Because that person is an admin, and they've given all the notice they need to give before they start wrathing your ass.

In Battlefield 1943 you don't get points for killing people on their aircraft carrier.Internet Kraken said:

On topic, all I can say is...quoted for truth.
No healing items. Depends on the type of game I'm playing. Games that fall into the no healing (items) category are Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man, and pretty much any RPG, especially ones where you can stock up on 9999 healing potions and own everything that doesn't kill you in one hit.
Resident Evil, I'll use sprays/herbs for, considering that they're very limited and there's no way to heal without them. Also Beat-em-ups, FPS's, and anything where healing items are a "use it by stepping on it" affair.
An exception to the rule is Diablo, seeing as how the melee combat consists entirely of trading blows, and it's impossible to not get hit.

Funniest thing to do is find the camping spot and just 'nade it and what the kills get racked up by zombies.
OT: Perhaps spoiling game endings through any means, or point stealing in games like CTF
Campers are not my allies, they are the bane of my life, betrayal does not apply tocampers as far as I am concernedxdgt said:
As mentioned spawn camping is not cool. A push back to the spawn point in a control point or payload map is a touchy subject...but in death match and capture the flag, it's a no-go.
