I only allow people in after conversing with them about the purpose of their visit, such as a trade. That's why, along with the basic rules, I ask them to follow me at a close distance at all times if they need to walk past the train station area.
What are some rules/expectations that you have for visitors of your town?

Gasp, asking others to write if perfect fruit is premium and the daily turnip price is such a great idea!
I just write on the bulletin board if my Guest town has those things at premium. That gives my guest time to go back and get their perfect to sell in the shop or buy turnips so they can sell them at my retail.
I belong to a group that shares high turnip and premium fruit days. Sometimes members don't see the message so I add it on the board. I like your idea for other players to share their high turnip or premium prices on other players boards.

I absolutely love when my villagers mention other peoples names, it makes me feel like they actually made friends with the people that visited my town and that’s super cool. That’s why my town is always open for everyone that ask me to get signatures.
The only thing I really expect is being respectful and if I don’t know someone I accompany them around my town.
Just don’t run and don’t kill flowers that’s all I ask of my visitors!
They can talk to my villagers as much as they like.

To be honest, I'm not strict on how I have visitors. My town is...I guess developed...so common sense tells me don't run on my flowers, just walk. I have this rule. If you break my flowers in an accident, I wouldn't be mad. If you break my flowers but don't say anything...:/ Hm...I wonder how I'll react.
Otherwise, not others. I let people talk to my villagers, as long as they don't write some hate letters to them. :/

I was today years old when I found out you could write letters to other people's villagers.

idrc what they do if they're my friends but if they're strangers i guess the only rule is to not damage anything (running on/stealing flowers, cutting down trees, picking anything up from the floor etc etc)
I haven't had any strangers over to my town (yet) mainly because I'm terrified they wouldn't listen and would just wreck my flowers and trees. I agree with "politely do whatever" but I feel like I would want to know and trust the person I was letting into my town.
Despite my fear, I am thinking of getting acnl as a download on my 2ds xl and making the town solely for meeting with strangers when I get the money.

If they're strangers I'm gonna be running around following them and watching everything they do (even if they're trustworthy or reputable, I don't like taking any chances.) If they're friends.... I'll probably do the same lol I've had friends steal smaller things from me occasionally, although it's never anything big or something I value. Reason being is the first visitors I've ever had in my town were two strangers I met on an island and invited them over to my town (being new to the game and not knowing anything), and they literally ran all over and either stole everything I owned since I kept my junk on the ground, or trashed my plants and gardens. Needless to say I'm still a little traumatized from that so I don't like having tons of people in my town unless it's for quick trades.
ALSO: if you're gonna run up and use my shops PLEASE let me know beforehand cause I hate TT-ing after someone yeeted out stuff I need without permission.

Depends on which town tbh.
Tadaima: I mainly expect people not to run, take flowers/mushrooms, or pick clovers. I don't really care if people help themselves to fruit trees but, since my town is literally covered in clovers, I expect they tell me first so I can pick up the clovers for the fruit to drop. Fossils aren't really going to be found in this town for the same reason.
Otherwise, people are welcome to shop in the shops, talk to the villagers, use the campgrounds. Though, to be honest, me letting someone explore this town is pretty slim at this point and would require probably a lot of trust lol.
Onska: Definitely way more ground space in this town to where fossils and such would be found. Mostly same concept, people are welcome to help themselves to fruit, fossils, shops, talking to villagers. Biggest thing is flowers especially the areas I'm breeding in that you ask before you take. I may have extra or I may not.
Naiad: Honestly, this town is completely undeveloped for the moment for the most part. For that reason, most anything would go as far as help yourself to fruit, fossils, any flowers not on the beaches. If there's items at the station they're free to take. Campground, shops, etc free to use. Only that may or will be off limits is weeds eventually when I use it for weeding badges.

I don't really play with people unless it's to trade. If I do play with people I don't know, I like them staying within my camera so I can see what the are doing. When I played with my best friend, she was allowed to do and go wherever she wants. I just don't want people doing the usual like stealing, cutting down trees/bushes/flowers, stuff like that. I don't care if people talk to my villagers.
I?m fine with people walking around my town to take a look, as long as they don?t trample all my beautiful hybrids! I try to set expectations of ?walk around all you want; look at all the houses you want; no talking to villagers!? Which is pretty common among others. I think it?s really annoying when someone talks to a villager and then my villager won?t stop talking about their experience with them for a really long time. It doesn?t bother me that much, but if the person doesn?t have to do it then I?d prefer them not to. I?m pretty flexible, although I exclusively do trades (which are very quick) and very rarely invite people to walk around my towns. Mostly because they?re not entirely done yet and I really want to perfect them before I show them off to people!
It has been a few years since I last hosted. I was welcoming guests for selling turnips. What I would do is set up welcoming guests in a convenient way (so, for example, they would not get lost). But, when it came to leisurely welcoming guests?and, again, it has been a few years?I asked for them to not take the hybrid flowers. This was at a time in which I did not have anywhere near the multiple towns I now have. I did not have a long list of rules. I just wanted people to be considerate enough to not be destructive (like running through and eliminating flowers and chopping down trees).
I never used to have rules other than no running. Although, it really bugs me now since one of my good friends from years ago came to visit, talked to my villagers, then left. My villagers keep talking about her and it makes me sad any time they bring her up. It's part of the reason I'm bringing new villagers into my town. I don't mind if random people talk to my villagers though, because it doesn't typically have any sort of bad memory attached to it.
