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.

Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.

Yeah I just don’t see the solution that a lot of people are pushing for.

I think it's two-fold.

Yes, in fairness to everyone, manufacturers need to post weight limits (and all other specifications) in an accessible way.

That said, prospective riders should realize that what they need will likely be at a category/size/weight/price they weren't expecting.
