Oh I got your point, which exactly leads to the fact that it would just become another enterprise to capitalise on, instead of banning anything, using shitty behaviour as an excuse to do so.

Edit; i.e. if you wanna ride a bike, well us politicians have decided that you need to do xyz first, but don't worry, my buddy offers x, my 2nd cousin does y and my wife actually has offers on z ATM. Don't look at us, it's because Billy over there didn't have his helmet on last year cu he's an asshole.

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.
