Summarise the Unwritten Rules of a Board Game Community

You want to join a local games club or a tabletop forum, but every community has rules nobody writes down and everybody judges you on. This lays out the table etiquette, the social norms, and the things that quietly annoy regulars. You walk in knowing how to fit in, rather than learning the hard way when someone sighs at how you shuffle.

**Summarise the unwritten rules in three areas:**
1. Table etiquette: the behavioural norms most valued in the gaming community that new players most often violate without knowing.
2. Online community norms: what to post, how to ask for help, and what tends to cause friction in gaming forums or Discord servers.
3. How to be welcomed quickly: the one thing a new player can do that signals they are a good-faith community member.
