So if you send a manuscript to a publisher that meets their guidelines, they will publish it?
Of course they won't, which is why these calls for written standards are so intellectually dishonest. Normal publishers don't do this and no one complains of censorships. Amazon presumptively publishes *everything*, and yet get accused of censorship despite the fact that they reject an order of magnitude smaller number of books.
