Is the player social contract still a must to play the game?

Blizz comment from earlier today about the Social Contract.

The “new social contract”, isn’t exactly new. It breaks down to two sections. The first is a set of recommended behaviors that help make the gaming environment a more enjoyable place for everyone. Those are exactly that, recommendations.

The second part, just quotes sections of the Code of Conduct, that has been in place well before the social contract has. It contains outlines of our policies on what you should not do, and if you do, may result in penalties being applied to the account.
