I fully agree - every day I'm trying to see all newimages on special:newimages and I try to delete all copyvio-looking images.

know that it's a bit agressive, but I think, that blanking user's upload is the best method of saying ''hi, something is wrong with
your
images''.
Er, I hope you write them a note explaining what they're doing wrong?! Simply deleting someone's images tells them nothing about what mistakes they're making, and therefore does not help them to avoid making them in the future.
Tell people twice? There is a big fat notice telling you what to do when you upload an image. The consequences are known (BTW red and even fat letters):
"If you do not provide suitable license and source information, your file will be deleted without further notice. Thanks for your understanding."
in czech in a big fat red box:
"UPOZORNĚNÍ: Pokud pravdivě neuvedete licenci a přesné informace o zdroji, vá soubor bude bez dalího varování smazán. Děkujeme za pochopení."
in german again red and even fat letters:
"Dateien mit unpassenden oder ohne ausreichende Lizenzinformationen werden ohne weitere Nachfrage gelöscht."
...
Any language I missed? At what point do people not understand? Maybe I should explain "your file will be deleted without further notice" to all people again? Sorry there is no way anyone can tell me that they did not see the big notice because I was there in the beginning of WM Commons and tried (together with Bdka who put the biggest efford into the matter) to make sure that nobody could tell us that there is no way of understanding which files are apt for commons and which are not.
Those files must be deleted! Period. You may talk to the people after the deletion. The administrators of WM-Commons and especially Bdka (many thanks to him) have done everything in the past to make sure the terms and conditions of WM-Commons are clear in any language and to the stupidest person possible (worst case). No way we have to tell them again. We can I we want to but we do not have to.
greetings
Paddy
