Enforcement and Cooperation:
We rely on the spirit of cooperation and mutual respect among members to adhere to these guidelines. If issues arise, they will be addressed on a case-by-case basis by the rLab membership/directors .
 
Objections:
That first paragraph is a mess of nonsense. Many laughs have been had over the concept of trying to ban vehicle repairs, that would include bikes, robots, boats and cars, not just vans remember.
 
Next is the concept of having to ask permission to park outside when not hacking. The directors are busy enough without having to sign off for me to park outside if I'm driving past and need to take a dump. Or maybe I could take this to the whole membership for a vote?
 
Almost every key issue here is left ambiguous.
 
How does one use a parking space "respectfully"? What's an "extended period"?
 
Worst of all, what counts as an "activity related to my project"? What about cleaning or tidying the Hackspace? Fixing Hackspaces tools? Helping other members with their projects? Attending a social event and spending some of the time asking for advice on my project?
 
Again, this policy idea is to fix a problem that we don't have.
 
People could take advantage of our first cone first served rule for the 3D printers. They could use both the printers for business projects, and have them finish at around 3am, come in at that time to set up new prints, and make it near impossible for other members to use them.
 
So, shall we make new rules up to combat this hypothetical problem?
 
No! Not unless and until it actually exists as a problem!
