Likewise, a screenshot of a problem should be loaded into gimp, re-exported as a .jpg, compressed until the colors are all screwed up. Leaving the compression at 12% quality will get a 250k screen shot, which will be blocked but jpeg throws away color before it throws away edges of text characters. So if showing a screen full of text to show the error, smunch the daylights out of it, it will still be readable. Even then its uo to the filters to say yay or nay.
