One of the things that really bothers me about the people making suggestions about changing/creating guidelines is that they are not really doing it in a way that makes a difference to the forum. If you really want to make a change to the forum, you are probably better off making an official request in the Feedback forum at

THAT would also be considered "doing something to help change the situation". I notice, however, that not one of the people who are so upset about this have bothered to even do that.
