It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

It says they "do not comply with the positional stability requirements". A bit of a convoluted description, does that mean they can slip off of your head in a fall?
