I run a small lab / hacker space. We've learned that a lack of structure is actually quite oppressive and can lead to conflict. The community is best served by clear rules of conduct. So for example furniture arrangement (leaving the space how you found it) is an important rule that minimizes friction between constituent groups. The same goes for food and/or incense guidelines. (We discourage both in our space, since it interferes with the work of others).
