I believe it is the principle at stake here, not the violation of the rule. We are supposed to be honest and trustworthy members of this web forum and as such are expexcted to abide by the rules, whatever they may be. And as noted, there maybe legitimate reasons to link to betaONE so we don't want to disable this feature.
It should not be necessary to restrict members' PRIVILIDGES, but rather to exercise discression in the event of a violation; and a simple warning or reminder is not out of line to make sure everyone knows the rules.
If it were my website, I would not want to be hosting pics either...it can be rather bandwidth intensive...
