Default RE: UAV, FPV Club protocols?

Our stance is as long as they are in compliance with the AMA we allow them. It is difficult to educate all club members of the regs, but we are trying. The problem is when you have an FPV operator that does not care about the AMA rules. We certainly do not want an aircraft originating from our field that is buzzing the city or worse crashes and causes damage somewhere.
I guess beyond the fact that our club guidelines will parallel with the AMA, should we go further, or even outright ban them? Will they even be allowed in the future with upcoming FAA regs?
I am just asking these questions, as I would like to do the right things to preserve our flying site.
