Images that are filtered out are still displayed as links in posts, just doesn't load inline in the post.
It's like instead of using the [img] bbcode, you used the [url] one.

Reason being that some people log what IPs request an image file.
In the case of some torrent trackers, they use that as a way to see which of their members are viewing FST (they come across post created by the tracker admin on fst, image loads (from tracker server), tracker server logs the IP that connected, looks up if that IP exists in the tracker's db then bans the associated user for being a member at fst.

I wouldn't want to grace a site with my presence that bans for that reason.

Basically what he said but with a "fuck them" added for emphasis.
Btw ironic isn't it that someone would stoop to such a Facist tact on a medium supposedly devoted to communication and freedom of expression.
My suggestion would be to kill the young or at least the pasty males.
