I usually operate on this assumption, as well as the "character+numbers username principle"
The only thing is, I don't consider judging on communication skills to be irrational.
Making amvs is a fairly complex process, at least on the technical side, and requires at least some degree of ability to understand information like that in the guides, and to ask informed questions about the difficult parts. Someone who can't communicate efectively for whatever reason aside from language barriers is quite a bit less likely to clearly comprehend the anwers give to their questions, or turn out a quality amv.
It works the other direction as well. A DBZ/Inuyasha/Naruto named poster who communicates clearly and effectively will probably be given the benefit of the doubt.
MJ makes a good point about the video names as well. I've thought along the same lines about really uncreative video names too.
Still, he is one person who might be able to pull it off. I'd download a video by MJ if it was called "Kagome-Waking Up with Inuyasha Inside Me"
