Lately there has been several treads here about users that's asking why their contribution gets declined. We have the rules, but it seems that new users here kinda get lost in the jungle-rules
It's great that they contribute, but when they get standarized decline notes, it might be difficult to understand why. The rules mostly explain themselves, so if every new contributor read them, they might find the answer themselves.

So therefore I'm thinking we should have an FAQ/FYI on the most common "errors" that's resulting in declines. Anyone into this idea?

Sounds like a good idea.

I'll give you one reason -

Human error. We believe that the screeners are human ( ) so sometimes correct submissions are declined

Here are a few:

Wrong UPC/Region (I've voted no to many "updates" where the contributor was confused by that)

Wrong Disc format. (Users trying to fix a Blu-ray profile with a DVD UPC)

Currency not matching the Locality/Region

Using IMDB (or other 3rd Party db) as a source
