Zcash Community Forum Code of Conduct Updates

@sarahjamielewis

The purpose of that list is to explicitly signal to members who may belong to one or more of those persecuted groups that they can interact (somewhat) safely within the community as themselves (and, more concretely, that the mods will have their back when they do)

This is the intent of the list.

@sarahjamielewis

instead broadcasts (intentionally or otherwise) that advocation of persecution of those groups holds an equivalent status within the community.

I see what you mean. It was purely unintentional. This is my blunder, a last-minute add by me that I didn’t discuss thoroughly with Antonie from the Zcash Foundation (and frankly I didn’t think very deeply about myself).

@sarahjamielewis

If the intent of that portion of the CoC is to act as a signal, then I would suggest that the addition should be reverted (keeping the other sections regarding prohibition of political endorsement).

Removed, and apologies to everyone and the Foundation for my misunderstanding.
