It definitely does not make anything clear at all.

It at least makes it easier to evaluate the behavior of members of the community, since there is a set of guidelines to evaluate against. Of course it should only be used if disputes can’t be resolved more amicably

But it really really really doesn't. The people who violate the CoC the most, are almost always the same people who wrote it. It's similar to some people who need a religious book to tell them not to kill people, but then they do it anyway.

Great analogy!

This really is my team's Code of Conduct. https://gist.github.com/tonymorris/90522094bb964fd0d7bb42acd43ff4fb … as in, we strive to take it as seriously as is practical.

There are certainly some useful parts of that! I especially like the use of precise times. However, there are some projections of personal opinions and preference that probably don’t belong in a serious coc. So my assumption is that you don’t take it that seriously.

No, I am dead serious. We all take it extremely seriously. I have no idea how you reached a conclusion otherwise. Because of "projections of personal opinions and preference"? What do you think the rubbish documents contain?

Thats fair, a coc generally contains community preferences. I was mainly referring to “Don’t use scala. Not even then.” The rest is strait forward, actionable and useful. I don’t think this is a technical position, but rather a personal preference based on passes disputes.
