I think it is pretty much straightforward. You can explain what Tor is,
why you are supporting it, and in some more heated cases offer to
temporarily block destination IP/port pairs. You will come up with your
own language and standard cases as you go along, and from that can
derive some template replies.

The easiest parameter to tune is bandwidth. The more bandwidth you
provide, the more abusive traffic you will see. The second most
important parameter is the ExitPolicy. See also

Thanks for running Tor relays, and welcome to the exit business! :)
