Sorry. I seem to have been misunderstood here. As others have said at the core a Code of Conduct should not be about banning anyone. That's a measure of very last resort. A lot of work should be put in before that happens. Talking, making aware of an issue, mediation, bringing in a neutral third party, separating the parties and a lot of other things are possible before that to address a problem. A Code of Conduct should be as much about stating what a community wants to be as about what it doesn't want. I think about it as a statement of intent that broadcasts values to the rest of the world and gets shared understanding in a community. Some communities then decide to add rules and punishments for violations. Other decide to hand that over to a committee or something similar. There are pros and cons to either.
