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 love that they're on ebikes and scooters instead of goddamn petrol dirt bikes.

Those things are obnoxious as hell to have hanging around. Hours on end of Bbaam, BaaaAAAMMM, BAAAHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMM..... Buurrmmmmm. Repeat ad nausea.

Ok kids. You're banned from social media. Go outside and get done fresh air.

Ok kids! That's enough fresh air!!!

Freaking tyrant politicians. What did they expect to happen when they ban the kids from social media.
