Nothing says your shot has to be safe. Unplayable Lie has been replaced with Optional Relief (805.03c) and incurs a one stroke penalty. That will let you move to any spot on the line of play no closer to the hole.

The majority of the group cannot decide to make a new rule because they want to do so...well unless you are playing in the Legends division, they can do whatever they want...

Hath this whole world been mired in madness?
Remain ye men of faculty complete,
Of full arithmetic and prudence fair,
Attending to our noble bond and contract?
Or does here stand the last remaining man
To give a fig for rules and order yet,
No noble savage, but a stave unbroken
Who loves the law and bids it no misdeed.
I’ll not be bent to lawlessness. Mark it nought, if we be men of honour.
