The Code of Conflict has 28 lines, including the heading. The Code of Conduct has 81 lines, including the heading. And it needs a FAQ. Hm.
Here's a one-line Code of Conduct from Kant: "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law."[1]
Put another way: Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.
Simple beats complex. No FAQ necessary, imo.
