I welcome this decision. It is great to have more diversity on the /tech/ team. But, even though we're progressing, we still have a long way to go as a board in accepting and empowering marginalised voices. That is why I propose the moderation team adopt a Code of Conduct (CoC) to make the board more welcoming for marginalised groups. In particular, terms such as 'f**got' and 'tr*p' should be avoided because of their power to trigger our minorities in tech.
Please consider this suggestion. It will be a victory for equality, for minorities, and, most importantly, a victory for the right side of history.
