How about:
Please don't be sarcastic, joke about death or suicide, suggest that others harm themselves or others, jump to conclusions about others or their experiences, post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down, pressure others, use language that could offend others, exaggerate or overgeneralize -- et cetera.
