I'm wondering; Would it be possible to put the Guidelines in a separate page, as in an agreement, where they have to be read before membership is completed? If you click "I agree" then they are agreeing to conform to the Guidelines. They would also have the choice to "Do Not Agree" and membership would be denied.

If each Guideline was presented with a button to agree or disagree, the person might not be so quick to click "I Agree" and move on.

Just a thought.
