Submission formats

It would be really nice if the website was a bit clearer on what format, exactly, a correction should have.  I filed a correction yesterday on a 'goof' that was not actually a goof because it was based on the poster's opinion, (that an injured animal MUST wear an e-collar when it is, of course, the owner's prerogative, and dependant on the animal's behaviour as to whether they need it, and the animal in question did not seem to,) and it was rejected for bad formatting, but there is no guide as to what the 'right' formatting would have been.
