Can't help but feel these codes of conduct are unnecessary. I get the problem they're supposed to solve, setting ground rules for a community expected to broach various cultural boundaries, but I don't actually think they functionally achieve this. Few people bother reading them so they're more a mechanism for discipline than anything constructive.
