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.

We have them all: amber gamblers, crossing creepers, jumping the gun, the cautious nighttime non-stoppers, the good old blast through...

There is a rule in the UK that bikes get priority over cars unless markings show otherwise, and another that walkers get priority over both. Some drivers are still in denial and seem to think they won't get tickets (or education classes if lucky) if they ignore new rules they dislike for long enough!
