not to single you out, but this repetitive posting of the same *huge* pictures on thread after thread, without those pictures being of any informational or probative value whatsoever, is simply pissing away bandwidth and slowing everything down, and i, for one, would very much like to see it discouraged.

For the sake of accuracy, it consumes the poster's bandwidth, not FR's. Yes, it may take a bit longer for the picture itself to load on individual users' machines, but it's not taxing a FR resource at all because the picture pulls straight from the poster's server.
