I think this is pretty user hostile. When filing bugs, the more rules a
project imposes on the bug report, the less likely I am to go ahead with
filing it, especially when the rules are worded in a very direct manner
that makes it feel like you'll be flamed for getting it wrong.

IMHO if someone provides a bug report with a screenshot and there is not
sufficient accompanying information, just nicely ask them to explain the
problem in a little more detail. We need todo that with plenty of bugs
which don't have screenshots either, and screenshots can be helpful in
some cases.

With regards,
Daniel
