My reasoning is that everyone here probably has a goal of improving their own individual instrumental rationality, but that can't be a shared goal, since we have different preferences, and your improved instrumental rationality might end up being used to hurt me if we don't share the same values. Improving group instrumental rationality makes everyone better off, so that seems to be a reasonable shared goal.
About 'rationalists win' being considered cringe-worthy and/or inaccurate, is there some existing discussion about that that I'm not aware of? It seems like a perfectly good motto to me.
Many, many times. Note some of the discussions on the posts linked from Rationalists should win. It's been misinterpreted a bunch of different ways, some people who don't misinterpret it don't like it, and there have been several attempts to reform it.
Also: "No slogans!"
