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.

We've known about the "make it so ugly nobody wants to steal it" technique for several decades.

No one will suspect that thing you just crashed was a bike!

No one will suspect you just stole a motorbike.

Of all dumb ideas I've seen, this is one of the dumber ones.
