I think one of the reasons we have gotten so many empty submissions is that graphics could be uploaded only by users marked as contributors. To make it easier for newcomers to submit content, I have removed the requirement that only "contributors" may upload files. I have replaced it with the policy that blocked users may not upload anything. This replaces whitelisting with blacklisting. Newcomers are assumed to be trustworthy until they prove themselves not to be. With the restrictions that are already on uploading, I doubt it will be abused much.
