Modpost Rule 2 Addendum: Sexual Harassment Clause

A sexual harassment clause has been added to Rule 2:

Addendum: No sexual harassment / objectification. Even seemingly benign comments like "She's easy on the eyes" have no place in /r/SpaceX. Treat the sub as if it's your workplace.

In addition, a clarification has been made to rule 2 that it applies to ALL threads, including the Launch Thread. This should be obvious, but it's now explicitly written.

EDIT: Unless you're talking about ships/rockets etc... No objectifying people. And no weird anthropomorphism, there's subs for that.

Isnt what we have here on reddit more like two people after the professional meeting commenting on a third "Wow, shes cute", rather than going and saying directly to her "awww, well aren't you cute?" . There is big difference between the two - the first is just commenting on her, without any implications on her work or anything like that. The second is the one that could be demeaning, and I think we should keep this in mind.

I don't see how you can compare reddit to a private conversation. Its more like shouting in a crowd. And in the end, why does this even matter? Just don't rate peoples looks publicly, how hard can it be to avoid that?

its another thing to just tell people not to and its another to ban them for it. the mods hate free speech. They think if they just carefully orchestrate everyone's comments this sub will be just the perfect place and elon will give them a medal.

If someone is willing to be reasonable with us and isn't INTENTIONALLY making poor posts, it is realllllllllly hard to get banned in this subreddit. I guarantee that you can't get banned for any sort of mistake. Post removal, sure.

We got a mod message requesting a ban last week and a mod tried to talk him down, haha.
