Our other rule was for ourselves. We played no more that 4 songs to let the soundman dial things in. Then, we start calling people up. If it was a whole band, 3 songs & off. If they want to stay & come up again later, fine.
Our rule about people coming up to play with us was variable, depending on the quality of play. A hack isn't getting more than 2 songs.
My only objection to your post, (light-heartedly) is the major over minor thing. As a very modal player do that all the time. But, I'm playing the correct major scale!
