5. I'll just follow the site rules and community standards. That should suffice.

I appreciate the importance of what you are saying here though.

For bad behavior there is a button to alert the admins or mods, and they also have juries (which is a very cool feature of the site btw).

As long as people are not violating the rules or community standards I don't see any reason to create a special standard above and beyond those. I think the summary of the rules is just try to be nice and respectful to the other people.

Bernie doesn't want to run a negative campaign. But people on internet web forums have a lot more leeway to criticize other candidates, and we should do so liberally. Hillary probably has a team dedicated to spreading negative garbage about other candidate on the internet. Bernie doesn't have anything like that.
