It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

There is a "throw money/time" way to reduce bike theft as part of cycling infrastructure. Have a "bike valet" near major office areas and special events so that bike lockups and returns are properly vetted.

My city does this for public events. I'm excited to finally use it sometime.
