In the "What is Not Allowed?" section, "Anyone under the age of 13", despite the trade-off being less concise, made the rules more emotional. Also, added "diverse" to the Pledge section.

@GitHub-Creeper Thanks for opening a PR! Unfortunately the site policy docs go through our legal team, not our docs team. They can be dry, yes, but that's usually for legal reasons. We basically aren't allowed to touch them except for typo fixes. If you'd like to contribute, we do have a handy help wanted label over in issues for stuff we would like help with. This would be an especially good first PR because a subject matter expert gave me the exact wording we should use in that comment I linked. |
1 commit being made: "In the "What is Not Allowed?" section, "Anyone under the age of 13", despite the trade-off being less concise, I made the rules more emotional. Also, added "diverse" to the Pledge section."
Why:
There was room to improve the tone of the Code of Conduct in the “What is Not Allowed?” section. The original phrasing was legally correct but emotionally flat. This update introduces a more empathetic, human-centered explanation regarding age restrictions while maintaining compliance. Additionally, I added the word “diverse” to the Pledge to better reflect inclusive values. I know that GitHub tries to be as emotional as possible, but this is 1 minor improvement.
Closes: No related issue — this is a minor tone and clarity improvement.
What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):
No structural or functional documentation changes were made; this PR is purely tone-focused.
