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.

Nothing like a good ol' faceplant. Every scar is a badge of honour.

I skated and skied from I was 8 to 25 (never got really good as a skater). I am 45 now, and found my last board a few years back. Showed it to my wife and she nearly ripped it out of my hands telling me NO!

A skateboard going over 70 km/h is a monumentally bad idea.
