    Nothing wrong with very general rules, as long as you pick the right ones.

    Don’t bully people. Don’t be an asshole. Don’t use or threaten with violence. Etc.

    Even better are general positive rules: Be nice to other people. Be kind. Give constructive feedback. Etc.

      General rules aren’t great when they end up banning benign things along with bad things because they are too broad. Like no nicknames vs don’t keep using a nickname if the person asks you to stop.
