Just to be direct, that was not a moderator initiative. I personally don't subscribe to them, although the favour of a large group of modders was with it. I don't want to speak for any other moderators, but I don't recall there being much enthusiasm for it among us.
Which is why it's "suggested". It will keep you out of trouble, but I don't think it's a law.
The real point is that modders need to behave ethically and in a way that neither steps on others' toes nor create nonsense situations that deny users access to the best and the latest.
