Welcome to another addition of New Rules! This is an ongoing series in which I compile some of my least favorite meta trends on Daily Kos and then complain about them. You can read the previous diary here.
Today I'm devoting the New Rules to the infamous GBCW, or "Goodbye Cruel World" diary. This type of diary is the subject of a lot of meta on Daily Kos, so it's only appropriate to give it its own special category of New Rules.
As always, these rules are mostly in good fun. Mostly.
