I'm really not sure what you mean here.

What do you believe that explains that the older version did not?
No matter how you write it, it will not precisely define the conduct that
will or will not get you kicked out.

That's not really relevant of course - i meant that it's not any different
in practice than any other set of social conduct rules one is subject to.

I doubt, for example, either the Google or Sony employee handbooks have
precise bright lines on what conduct is okay and not okay.   Yet they still
have serious consequences.

I don't think any way you write it will provide clarity as to precisely
what conduct will and will not be okay.

Anyway, since I don't think what you seem to want is possible, and I think
it's fine as-is.
But I understand if you disagree.
