Using your discomfort as motivation to add a numbered rule to the tribe was sound thinking. Clearly put, numbered rules help you as much as they do the people that submit snaps to the tribe. Now it's as simple as ‘that post violated Rule No. 3 at /t/fantastyart.’
What I think is maybe more interesting is whether you silently removed it or felt the need to let the submitter know somehow. If and when you did notify them, would you stress that you'd removed it or that they were welcome to submit better work in future? Would that have better been a private message, or a comment at the snap that might be less appropriate when the snap was viewed from other tribes?
Here is where I have failed. I will reach out to the user immediately through a private message.
I should actually apologize to the user for failing to have the correct rules envisioned before they came along to post their snap. At the same time, I worry that it might be hurtful to point out that I considered the work (especially if it's their own original content) lower quality.

What is the best way to reach out in lieu of this?
