Platinum Rule
The Platinum Rule far predates the How I Met Your Mother episode of the same name. It is similar to the Golden Rule, but more considerate.
It states "Do unto others as they would have you do unto them, not as you would have them do unto you."
The Golden Rule is to treat others as you want to be treated, but the Platinum Rule understands and accommodates for the fact that not everyone wants to be treated the same way. It says that we should treat people how they want to be treated, regardless of how we might personally want to be treated in similar situations.
The Platinum Rule is a much more empathetic, sensitive moral guideline than its predecessor, the Golden Rule, which ignores the wishes and preferences of the recipients of the behaviour in favor of imposing the giver's preferences onto others in a misguided attempt at kindness.

I like having doors held open for me, but Jane prefers to open her own doors. Instead of insisting that she shut up and let me open her doors, I abide by the Platinum Rule, and I let her open her own doors when she wants to.

The Platinum Rule is the rule above the Golden Rule. The golden rule being "love thy neighbor"; the platinum rule is "never ever, ever, ever 'love' thy neighbor" (have sex or intimate relations with them).
The Platinum rule comes from the Bro Code Article 83: A bro shall, at all costs, honor the Platinum Rule: Never, ever, ever ever "love" thy neighbor. In particular, a Bro shall never mix it up romantically with a co-worker.
The 9 Stages of the Platinum rule are: Attraction, Bargaining, Submission, Perks, Tipping Point, Purgatory, Confrontation, Fall Out, and Co-Existance.
Attraction: Getting attracted to the person(s) you see on a daily basis
Bargaining: Saying that all would be alright and the Platinum rule will not apply
Submission: Giving in to the relationship
Perks: Noticing the upsides to the relationship
Tipping Point: When you notice that it won't work out
Purgatory: The never ending suffering that will follow
Confrontation:Ending the relationship
Fall Out: A reaction, a bad one, from the confrontation.
Co-Existance: Learning to live with that person(s)
Such relationships will never work out and will go through all 9 steps if its with someone you see on a daily business.

The Platinum Rule
Victimize people with your own pathology. It's intended to be used selectively. How do I know? I wrote the damn thing.
Hym "Yeah, but see, now you're not doing YOUR thing. You're the thing I ascribe to all of you. The Platinum Rule. And you're using it as intended. That's called 'Me being correct.' Good job me. GoOd JoB oThEr Me!"
