I'd like to see if people had proposed moratoria on certain things/phrases/practices. For instance, I'd like to call a moratorium on the phrases "over the top" and "the wow factor". I probably wouldn't hear those phrases as much if my wife didn't constantly watch HGTV and TLC, but the fact remains that those phrases have been overused to the point that they are now meaningless. If you use these phrases, please stop. You're being very silly.
Another moratorium: Joe Rogan, it's time to retire. You've made enough money and you've been in the public eye too long.
New rules are a little like moratoria. For example, I propose this new rule: To all the guys who convert to Islam and decide that they have to wear those stupid robes everywhere - I don't care if you decide to wear things that haven't been fashionable since the bronze age. However, you have to stick with one era. If it's cold, you don't get to wear Levis jeans under your stupid robes or North Face coats over your stupid robes. Stop walking around the city with your fakey looking biblical-era robes mixed up with modern day clothes.

Also, I'd like to see a ban on people calling for moratoria.
Please stop saying, "In these economic times...."
Please stop doing this. You look really stupid when you wear a dishrags on your head in public.
Also, to all people wearing cowboy boots in Washington, DC: YOU ARE NOT A COWBOY! Even if you are, you're in DC now! Stop it!
Also, accusing me of ageism? Kettle? This is Pot. You're black.
I'm a little persuaded that the same can be said for the word, "awesome".
Captain Awesome says: "No. Awesome is awesome no matter which way you look at it, bra."
Fuck this royal wedding nonsense.
Also, marked increase in sex in the champaign room, please advise.
