Also, you should add a list of the most used excuses to make newcomers understand how silly they sound and that instead of wasting time with excuses and flames, they should just keep practicing until they get it right.
And finally, you could forbid anyone who is not a "good" spriter to go and give useless "advice" to the newcomers: God knows how many attention seekers go around every community posing as "wise" and "veterans" when everything they do is merely steal and parrot the words of the true spriters present around. You guys have quite the number of good spriters here, and if they could share their experience without being interrupted or parroted, the newcomers could learn and improve way better and faster than as now.

this is probably the best idea to be used out of everything
