If it's not intended to be "legislation" or "rules", I'd suggest not
calling it a "code". It's got legislation and rules builtin to its
name. If your argument is that these are "shared community values",
better to call it that instead. Unless you want these to be enforced
community rules, in which case, call a spade a spade and don't be
ashamed of it.

code: "a set of rules or principles or laws (especially written ones)"

Best,
Dom
