1. Replace "oppressive" with better term …

   "Oppression" is a broad term that may not be wholly appropriate
   for a code of conduct or moderation policy, and could easily be
   misconstrued.
   
   For instance, users could claim that they are being oppressed by
   having their comments moderated, as they may feel they are being
   targeted for their beliefs as well. It could also be interpreted
   as meaning that only content that attempt to silence others fall
   under this policy.
   
   Using the social justice definition of oppression, this runs the
   risk of being misconstrued as only applying to those with certain
   beliefs or qualities, while others cannot be moderated using this
   justification because of their "oppression status" -- this is too
   subjective for a CoC which should be easily understood by as many
   members as possible.
   
   For these reasons, replace the one instance of "oppression" with
   a more specific and broadly accepted description of behaviors
   that are unacceptable ("prejudiced and dsicriminatory").
