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.

High car prices have pushed people towards to the micromobility sector, where much smaller vehicles offer greater flexibility for a fraction of the cost.

Yeah, he nails it. I listened to the whole thing.

Basically exactly what I said, except for "ghosting" which is a problem where the board will ride without a user on it. Ghosting boards can be a hazard, but not to the rider
