People usually go with their non-niceness far beyond what is necessary.
I'm just not sure whether adding niceness to the rules would lead to more niceness, or more meta debates about what is and isn't nice.
Also, the community would have to moderate niceness by voting, and I am not sure about how well this would go either.

Who determines what is "necessary"? And, speaking of, who determines what is "nice" and what isn't (besides Santa Claus)?
Is niceness just politeness or do you want to expand it to things like steelmanning?
