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.

I think the purpose of the E-bike racks is so that students can still commute to campus on their E-bikes. They just dont want them zooming around highly populated pedestrian walkways. Also, lithium battery fires are no joke and people do take these kinds of devices indoors to charge. If this prevents even a single indoor fire, then the policy is sound.
