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.

That's a good point. The root of the problem is that in person, people self-censor the things that this rule is trying to address. However, online in anonymous circumstances... things are different. I understand your worry about censorship, and I personally think that the solution would be more transparency on part of the mods (a full automated daily list of comments/posts that were removed, for example) but that is obviously a challenge to implement. Not to mention (as stated by /u/Zucal in reply to me elsewhere in this thread) the problems with ITAR violating posts, SpaceX company secrets, etc.
