The reason for the rule on image size is not the time taken to download the image, but the mess it makes of the thread layout. One wide image expands every thread on the page sideways and makes users have to constantly scroll sideways to read the messages. This is not a good thing.

At the very least, grab the image(s) and attach them. Don't just delete and think it's OK which in most cases, it's not OK. When the image(s) need to be seen in order to illustrate something and the image(s) are deleted, that's when we have a problem.

We really don't have the time to "babysit" users who can't be bothered to read the rules. They are there for all to see. It is up to each user to acquaint themselves with the rules that govern this community. If your image is deleted, it's your own fault, not ours.
