Be nice to each other.
Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that.
Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate.
Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated.
Don't use slurs.
You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body.
The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic.
Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine.
Don't post literal car fucking.

I agree there may be quite a large range but just to say that can still be useful.
I think its crucial to start denormalising all the costs and externalities of car focussed transport policy. Motornormativity means policy makers and general public internalise costs of progressive infrastructure and are blind to the huge costs of the status quo.
So even being able to pin a wide range on it can be helpful. Not for financial costs but for emissions I was able to show even for the lower end of a wide range of additional hard-to-quantify emissions for scenarios that didn't drastically reduce private car usage as well as electricify would blow past thier carbon budgets.
