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've also heard about people attaching magnets to the bottom of their bikes to try and trigger the EM sensors

I do wish the sensors are marked better in some intersections, but in my city there are fairly noticeable black strips on the pavement surface in front of the stop lines. Maybe standards are different where I live because I don't have any issues triggering them with my steel frame bicycle
