Some thoughts over the matter: Wikipedia has already rules about how the users should interact and the "penalties" that all users would endure equally if they wouldn 't apply to them. If you are a volunteer/user the things are simple. You get blocked and that is that. Imagine being a newbie then sadly, things are even more simple. The problem starts when the administrators who are called to perform those rules are the harrashers themselves and don' t get punished. For example old users with multiple interactions with WMF such as grants, being in user groups/chapters with funding, grantees of trips in conferences annualy and having created a net of protection of users/administrators around them over the years, because they know the tricks to fly under the rader and be likeable. People as such, who see their interaction with wikipedia more as a profortable and prestigious job, and are "vauliable" to wmf because they run the annual contests in wikipedia or doing other wikimedia jobs beneficiary to the foundation but not wikipedia, is the code of contact going to apply as well? Simple rules don't. And who will execute it? I believe that the code of conduct is an attempt, for the wmf to be politically correct in the eyes of the world and the communities that something is going to change to the better in wikipedia. I believe that the code of conduct will not solve any problems because that is not why it's being made for. Participating to the discussion just legalize wmf behaviour to not encounter all user equally and "putting under the rag" serious harrasment cases by users just because they get the job done.
But the truth of the matter is that WMF only regards us as equals when needs us to support it.
