the real question is... what is the root problem here, and how do we resolve it?

After reading these threads over and over and over for the last month or two, it seems like the root problems are

• impatience,
• not understanding that e621 is a curated archive and not a gallery,
• not understanding someone is reviewing the posts already,
• not understanding the minimum resolution and artistic requirements,
• honestly, overestimating the quality of their own work, and
• taking it personally when their posts aren't approved.

Would it be possible, when someone is posting for the first time, to make them go through a short series of slides that explain -- one concise point per slide, because attention spans suck -- what uploaders need to know about when they can expect art to be approved, why it may be deleted, and not to take it personally?
