User blog comment:PsiCubed2/A proposal for a new rule for this community/@comment-27513631-20170706200845/@comment-30754445-20170706214626

I think any specific set of rules is going to be useless, precisely because the "smart-alecs"  will always find loop holes in them.

What we should do, really, is follow common sense. If a newbie comes here and immediately acts in a rude and confrontational way, we should not start looking for excuses for his behavior. Our experience from the past few months is enough to tell us, that giving such people the benifit of the doubt is a remarkably bad idea.

In hindsight, this isn't surpising. This place has no "entrance exams" nor does it cost any money (or any other kind of commitment) to join. Add to that the fact that "my number is bigger!" theme attracts the most basic juvenile insticts of many people, that it's a miracle - really - that the situation here isn't much much worse.
