In this case what would make them read long rules?

Well, mostly all CoC points could be replaced by single sentence: "Be polite.": polite (pəˈlaɪt) adj 1. showing regard for others, in manners, speech, behaviour, etc; courteous Being polite is a matter of etiquette; it's about respect, and being considerate of people's feelings, culture, and values. Polite and mannerly imply consideration for others and the adherence to conventional social standards of good behavior. Simple and clear what the community expects from you. P.S. the word "polite" mentioned zero times on code of conduct page. -- ,,,^..^,,,
