Please be so kind as to name ten member-made doctrines.
1. Both the Melchezideck and Levitical Priesthoods will fail to manifest themselves in the presence of the double X chromosome.
2. In 2012 God voted for Mitt Romney and in 2016 He refused to vote because Trump was on the ballot. However, God was okay with the MoTab Choir performing at the Trump Inauguration because Jackie Evancho was also performing.
3. If there was anything to global warming, God would have revealed it to his prophets, seers, and revelators.
4. Of all various mayonnaise base condiments, Fry Sauce is the most pleasing to God.
5. BMWs are the preferred automobiles by 95% of the Heavenly Host.
6. Not drinking coffee and tea is a supreme test of faith due to their being health-promoting beverages.
7. Trump will make the Constitution "hang by a thread" and it will be rescued by one of Mitt Romney's dressage ponies.
8. Satan was laughing with delight when he learned of Dieter Uchtdorf's demotion.
9. Lime green is the holiest color of Jell-O.
10. Consiglieri's award-winning podcast is a sign of the end times.

Cola and caffeinated drinks are against the word of wisdom.
White shirt and tie required to bless or pass sacrament.
A bishop in a ward I was in required removal of earrings in men prior to performing any priesthood function, including sacrament
Sacrament must be wheat bread (guy in a previous ward convinced the bishop to do this).
No TV on Sunday

There are not many member-made doctrines. Most things Mormons believe come from some comment or talk from an apostle or 70 or high up church leader. We can't even blame the crazy WoW teachings and white shirt stuff on members...it came from the top dogs in Salt Lake and filtered down.
In most cases the LDS church doctrines and practices and beliefs filter downward, not up.
Now if the question is name 10 GA or Apostle made doctrines that have no basis in scripture or official revelation....well, we'd probably crash the sight trying to name them all.

Except of course for the final episode of
Victoria on Masterpiece tonight at 8 PM. Consider it a second anointing indulgence.

The Coca Cola and White Shirt doctrines spring to mind.

The priesthood ban and its doctrinal pronouncements of why it works seem to apply here. But, in another sense each and every doctrine the Church has ever held were member made--Joseph was likely influenced by Rigdon, Pratt and others anyway. We already know he used some other guys' Bible commentary to inform his JST projects--well I guess that extends to non-member made doctrines.
