We started with a few basic principles….

To pick up on part one of this post, LittleBigPlanet’s chief raison d’être was to be the creation and sharing of unique user levels, satiating users’ game development desires while concurrently extending the gameplay experience for the whole LBP community. Unfortunately, it seems that promise was too good to be true as user-created levels have been disappearing left and right thanks to Sony’s new ‘moderation’ guidelines.

OK, those of you that know me know I consider myself a social sheriff of sorts. So, I took it upon myself to put together some commandments about how to use Twitter. It just felt like a place begging for some guidance.
