Here's the problem with not using the IGR and just telling people what they did wrong: If you tell them only what they did wrong one time, they tend to just do other things wrong on their next upload. Or they just actually do the vast majority of things wrong on the IGR.

And let's not forget that a good portion of IG violations are people uploading stuff that could not possibly be useful in articles. Unrelated images, fanart, scanlations/fansubs, or just quality so bad it could never be useful. It's not like every IG violation comes from a user who wants to improve articles, and in fact most aren't.

I think the system we have works great for the spam ones, but it's ineffective for those who really want to help, and that's what we need to change.

My idea now is to change the IGR to be a little bit more personal, and maybe explain that if they respond to it, we'll cut them some slack.
