This is kind of funny how Hacker News differs from Twitter. To some extent, if you make informal rules, all the popular accounts out there will be unified by those rules:
* Initiate flamebait. Prefer generic tangents. Follow internet tropes.
* Use Twitter for political or ideological battle.
* When disagreeing, call names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3"
* Post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. Don't send emails anywhere, nobody will read them anyways.
