Surface clear submission guidelines in advance #751
Description
Activity
Looking into this, I think the welcome modal is a solid place to put this, without adding a new thing or adding more friction. Since it's in the welcome modal, it also means it can be revisited and reinitiated. I imagine new folks are also the ones who need it the most vs folks who have submitted more and know the rules better.
Reacted by Velda@supernovia if you have time, I opened a PR for the above here: #786 Let me know what you think!
I merged the PR - @supernovia if you have feedback happy to address post merge
Yay :D Happy to hear it.

Patterns reviewers have complained that they're getting poor-quality submissions, but it's currently difficult to find expected quality standards until after one designs a pattern and clicks submit.
Current flow:
It would be kinder to set standards in advance, maybe a modal when they open the new pattern editor, or at least brief guides and a link to more info.
Here's one page with some vague rules. It's a start:
