A code of conduct never changes bad actors, and they will always find ways to circumvent or even use them, for instance by creating Kangaroo courts. Erroneous conduct of well intentioned people can usually be resolved, but bad actors cannot.

You directly talked about "the right to employ it[mechanisms against bad people" here: https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/937639638877069312 … It certainly looked to me like you were making an agument about access to mechanisms based on merit.

That is exactly what "merit" means: the degree to which one can be trusted to wield the mechanisms of power. Which is NOT the degree to which one deserves protection. (Bad actors often like to claim that merit is just undeserved privilege.)
