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.

How much rental scooters cost in your area?

I uninstalled the app, but it was a set fee to unlock it, then a charge per minute.

Both providers offered multi day "passes", but they seemed expensive. Basically, if you rent them a few times a week, it's cheaper to buy one.
