But my point being (and my confusion) ... one grabs/downloads a pic which is accessible (able to be opened) from another site, and then when attempting to upload it to the image host to post it at VEF the image now shows as being banned and does not upload.
Perhaps I misunderstood G-Type's post, but he mentioned something about when a pic gets reported both the code and image get taken down.
If that is so then one would reasonably think that the pic would/should be dead and inaccessible at all sites.
