Users (old and new) should be prompted with and pass a short multiple choice test with a perfect score before they are allowed to submit their first titles or thumbnails. This would at least prove that they read the text, or are very lucky. After passing their account (local or server side) would be marked and skip the test for future submissions.
The test pass state could also be reset if new tips are added or modified, or if a user receives a warning.
