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.

Retailers are staying away because the program requires them to float the costs of the discounts for up to a year. The state says it’s working on a fix.

Great planning from gov't like usual

Too bad so many shops aren't participating. Glad that weight is 100% on the government who is offering the discount and not the shop owners who are choosing not to participate.
