People will (rightly) ask you to state the rules before you enforce them.

Having a CoC doesn't mean that you get this benefit.

In the case in point, the rules being enforced from the CoC were not stated. After being ruled in violation, it was not made clear WHAT rule was violated. And certainly no rule in the actual CoC was violated.
