Amen Kellie.
Maybe I'm fussy, but it seriously annoys me when I go to validate a book that is replete with garbage characters. It would seem to me that the submitter doesn't take sufficient pride in their submission, and that they are relying on the validater to clean up all the garbage, or that they are just knocking out the scan for the credits. Now I understand that not everyone can produce great scans, but they can at least get rid of some of the repetitive garbage like ~ ^ \ | > etc.

That's fantastic if you have access to a copy of the book. Oftentimes the
volunteer may not, and a certain amount of error-correcting really isn't
that onerous, especially if you're going to read the book anyway.
I do think, though, that it's nice when people who, because of older
equipment, can't get scans that live up to our modern high standards go
through and do some work on their submissions before submitting. After all,
there's a lot more credit for submitting than there is for validating.
