Any other points I should add (particularly about voting/karma)?

Downvote spam, but otherwise avoid voting up or down - we're likely to be voting for biased reasons.

Hmm. How about:

Please reserve downvotes for failure to engage, not simply disagreement. Consider not upvoting at all.

Spam is not engagement, but the poster whose posting led to this discussion post was not really interested in a discussion.

To echo Alejandro1, downvotes should also go to comments which break the rules.

“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”

― Robert A. Heinlein

(There's no way to break the rule on posting too fast. That's one I'd break. Because yeah, we ought not to be able to come close to thinking as fast as our hands can type. What a shame that would be. ...Or can a well-filtered internet forum --which prides itself on being well-filtered-- have "too much information")
