If the slot receiver is too close to the line, after the play I usually will talk to him (ask if he is supposed to be off the line and tell him to back up a step). If the wide out is a bit back and he is supposed to be on the line, he is on the line. Again, I may talk to him after the play, it depends on how close he is. I agree that I don't flag 'no man's land,' but I will try and correct it.

One thing I will say is that as you get a little more experience, you will have a good idea how the players are supposed to be lined up. That doesn't mean they won't make mistakes or you won't sometimes misread a formation, but you usually will know if those wide outs, flankers, slots, etc are supposed to be on the line or in the back field.
