Common problems
Most reported supernovae turn out to be false alarms. There are lots of checks and balances put in place to prevent false discoveries from getting posted on CBET Circulars, but sometimes a bad ones still gets through. The IAUC guidelines
It is possible to have a hot pixel on your imager. The way you can tell is to compare the size of the suspect to the size of a star of a similar brightness. The hot pixel will be smaller then the foreground star, a supernova would be about the same size.
The supernova hunter's first line of defense is the CfA Minor Planet Checker. However, don't think that this is the last word. There are lots of uncharted asteroids out there, particularly on the ecliptic. This is why you want to take two images of any suspect. If the object has moved, then it was an asteroid. A very famous case is the case of 2003lr (local link).
See the AAVSO online list of variable stars. Here you can check for variable stars near the location of galaxies.   Also, look for high proper motion stars 2003aw
An HII region can often produce a bright pixel in an underexposed image. A second exposure can often verify this.
Luminous Blue Variable stars are like Eta Carinae these are sometimes called "supernova imposters". They are still worth reporting due to how rare these objects are.

If you want to search this page, the easiest way is to do a "view source" (Ctrl-u in Firefox), then do a find (Ctrl-f in Firefox) and look for "-00°" for any SN at -00° Declination.
