I like language that explicitly states that things like sexism, racism, homophobia and transphobia are not tolerated. In my experience, there's a big difference in experience between just saying 'oh, don't say that kind of stuff' when those things come up, and having it be a huge part of the group identity.

I think it'd be good to have language that says something along the lines of 'we explicitly want and welcome people who are gay or transgendered or female,' rather than simply saying 'we don't like it when you harass these people.' :)

Explicitly saying 'we are pro-inclusion and have members who are X' will actually make people seek you out to play with you, similar to Taint in WoW
