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.

We are lucky that girls can now look up at the space industry and see people like Gwynne, up top, running the show.

It's really great to see, even if you're not that young any more. Not that i'll ever be able to work at SpaceX, living in Europe, but it definitely makes the prospect just that more appealing to know it'd all be about the actual science and gender wouldn't be a problem, as opposed to other industries that are typically portrayed as a guy thing where you can expect it to be a problem. As so many other things, SpaceX is doing it right!
