In my opinion, this seems awfully silly. Even though it doesnt violate the TOS it's still not allowed? Do you also check every picture posted to see if it is linked from a site such as photo bucket or if its leeching someone else's bandwidth? It seems to me things might be focused in the wrong direction. But again, thats just my opinion.
