I think you answered your own question: "guidelines."

Those that believe in this community, and want adherence to the guidelines will vote on submissions and comments so as to reflect that belief. Shallow dismissals tend to get voted down, and they may be refuted if someone is inspired to put the effort in to explain why such a shallow dismissal is either unwelcome or missing important information. Seeing as these are guidelines, there is no swift and absolute retribution for light infractions, when the community can largely self-correct such things.
