Hi,
I'm another of the "usually silent" members and I disagree with the point above.
I interact with many Free Software/Open Source communities, which includes not
only developers but also users from different cultures, and all of them have a
code of conduct. I can mention KDE, Debian, Fedora and OpenStack, but I know
that also Gnome has one. Even for smaller ones, yes, it's much needed (and
sometimes it's not even enough).
It's possible to have a code of conduct, and I really think that code of
conduct is not just equal to "let's prevents people from talking", it's
normally actually the opposite.
Ciao
