The Worst Ways To Play Among Us
There's no wrong way to play Among Us... unless people are doing some of these specific things instead of their assigned tasks, that is.

There are no wrong ways to play Among Us - unless someone is cheating or using hacks, that is. Cheating in Among Us is the worst thing players can do, because no only does it take the fun away from all of the other Crewmates and Impostors currently playing, but also because it is pointless.
Cheating in video games, normally, is perfectly fine. Players use cheats when they're feeling bored and want to change things up (like turning on Big Head mode in GoldenEye 007) or when they just want to make the game a little easier (such as the "All Weapons" cheats from Grand Theft Auto games). Some iconic cheats, like "Perfect Rail Balance" and "Perfect Manual Balance" from the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, have even become actual toggles on newer versions of those games' menus because of how often they are used by players. In a single-player game, this is totally acceptable and a great way to increase accessibility without destroying the original experience. In multiplayer games, however, it's a whole different story.
Cheating in multiplayer games is a tricky thing. Players use cheats to gain an advantage over their opponents, but when their opponent is another human, not an AI, it starts to be a little unfair. Some games allow for cheats to affect all of the players in a multiplayer session equally, thus eliminating this disparity and keeping everyone on an even playing field. Unfortunately, Among Us hacks and cheats don't work this way.
Among Us Cheaters, Hackers, & Tool-Assisted Party Poopers

When people cheat in Among Us, it ruins the game for everyone. There is nothing more annoying than beginning a round of Among Us only to have someone immediately call an Emergency Meeting and say "Red is the Impostor, I know because I have hacks." The entire point of the game is trying to figure out who is and who isn't an Impostor, and if that information is just blurted out immediately the only actual gameplay anyone has a chance to engage with is simply sitting through Among Us' lobby and loading screens.
Hackers who learn how to make Crewmates vent like Impostors or apply cheats to glitch through walls or eliminate the functions of the Impostor's Kill Cooldown timer may be enjoying themselves, but they're doing it at the expense of everyone else. There will always be some people who want to ruin joy whenever they see it, and InnerSloth is doing their best to combat Among Us cheaters and hackers, but every now and then random game-ruiners still show up in public lobbies. Right now, the only thing players can do is hope the game host bans them as soon as possible, because the only wrong way to play Among Us is to play it with cheats and hacks.
