What usually happens in groups where people want "civil discussion" and create rules so, they are usually the first ones to break them. :) I think you already have some some language regarding civil discussion in the guidelines. I would suggest just using discretion and not a bunch of rules. Some people like rules and I don't know why. The more evolved you are the less rules mean. Perhaps though there are some who still need training wheels to make it through this world. :)
