I fully agree - every day I'm trying to see all newimages on special:newimages and I try to delete all copyvio-looking images. I 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.
I subst [[Template:Speedywhat]] on the user's talk page when speedy-deleting copyvios. I think obvious copyvios and unacceptable licenses should be deleted on sight, while all non-obvious cases need to pass through Deletion Requests. As for checking usage, in obvious copyvio cases, it's a nice thing to do, but IMHO not the admin's responsibility -- someone will remove the red link soon enough.
