It's a bit crazy when you think of all the silly arbitrary standards that aren't required in Scripture at all.

If a church board or Pastor wanted to set ministry/platform guidelines stating rings were disallowed, only long-sleeved white shirts were permitted under a suit jacket, that is their choice to do so. They aren't required to show chapter and verse. It's their preference, their guideline. Those who don't like it can either not join that church ministry or go somewhere else.
What's so hard to understand about this?
