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.

Since they're clear how you need to leave the bike out the way of others and you need to photo how you've parked it in order to end your ride it should be quite clear to them who the offenders are.

I just suspect they haven't been dishing out any consequences, because why discourage a paying customer. Shitty behaviour, I hope this changes them.

I've never seen them put up in a way that does not block sidewalks. It has been a decade or so at this point. I often do long runs quite early and for years I have had to move these to unblock sidewalks. It is only about the scooters as property.

Yet more proof the market doesn't regulate itself..
