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.

Pretty neat.
I know it's not feasible to replace racks that are already installed, but it sometimes gets frustrating to see different stands being used. Some don't fit my 26" wheel bike with racks installed, some don't make a good use of space, some are so "artsy" that they are impractical as bike racks, and others don't even look like bike racks. ๐ฌ
Agreed, a better solution would be for municipalities or regional governments to publish design guidelines for businesses who want to put in a rack, but don't know what they're doing. I believe my local cycling org has a page about good vs. bad racks and will try to connect interested businesses with proper racks.
A good guideline would take into account recumbents, trikes, cargo bikes, scooters, step-throughs, bicycle trailers, kids bikes, and probably a few other things. Maybe even helmet lockers depending on the venue.
