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 thought it was just wrapped in plastic at first and was confused until I realized those were scratches on the front glass.

One time I turned too sharp on my then-new ebike and pitched forward head-first into the asphalt.

I was wearing my helmet, so I didn't end up with any damage other than a bit of a scare, but I'm sure if I wasn't I'd've ended up with a chipped tooth or a concussion. Always wear your helmet.
