This is relatively minor, but I don't feel quite comfortable with the
wording.  "pledge to make it a harassment-free experience" to me implies
that we pledge that *nobody will ever experience harassment*.  I don't
think that's something we can deliver, any more than a government can
promise there will be zero crime.  I think we could promise to
*maintain* a harassment-free experience, which implies things to a
restoring harassment-free state after it's been broken.

Everything else looks good.
