edits to CHANNELS_CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

- fixed minor grammar errors
- changed members to participants across the board since nobody is carrying cards or paying dues
- avoided using terms such as rules, punishments, etc since they carry baggage
- kept an active tense throughout the document
- moved Scope section to directly follow the pledge for coherency, and collapsed the intended/not intended into scope for brevity
