I'm not sure. I don't like the idea of implicitly rating posts by resolution; resolution is part of quality, and some posts are obviously below what moe wants, but I'm not sure I like the notion of making middle-resolution (eg. 1400x1000ish) stuff second-class by branding it with a "yellow warning light", which is what it feels like to me. There's a lot of great stuff in that range, and that would discourage posting it. I don't get that feeling from the subtle gray bar, at least, but red/yellow/green I think I would: "bad, watch out, good".

I like that there's no hard and fast lower limit on resolution. I need to like a picture more to post it at 1400x1000 than at 300DPI (or equivalently, an iffy scan at 300DPI), but at least I can use my discretion.

Of course (tangentally), there is some lower limit, but it's fuzzy; 640x480 is clearly under it, and 1400x1000 is clearly over it (for a good scan), but between that I think the current system works fine: encourage posters to use their discretion, and override when it's just too far astray, which doesn't seem to happen too often.

Could it even flag wallpaper-sized scans?
Seems sort of arbitrary; we have the tag...
