This is also the second time a CoC has been proposed; the first time got quite a lot of negative feedback, unsurprisingly. Pretty common for Codes of Conduct to get used as political weapons against people; when moderation actions are actually necessary, it's almost always obvious to any reasonable person, and simply being transparent about what was done and why is sufficient.

the degree to which the hidden comments are not in favor of a CoC makes the current censorious behavior quite obvious.

This is such a complicated topic. On one hand such things can help depersonalize why bad conduct is acted upon. On the other it kind of specifies a weapon.

I'd prefer a document more like The Constitution in that it lays out what's protected.
