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 this is another problem where having an absolutely shitty police institution takes options off the table.

Like we could try to have speed limits and enforce it, but I'm very confident the NYPD would just use it to bother black people.

Anyway. A speed limit is probably better than a total ban imo, even if enforcement is going to be a problem. Just posting the limit will make some people behave.
