First off, a lack of over moderation is not a problem at AO. It is however becoming a huge problem at other sites. It gets to the point where you're just like "f#$k this. these people can kiss my A$$." Some sites want you to jump through hoops just to access certain forums. Please don't ever let that become AO.

I've been to some sites where if you don't use "thier" file host/pic host (usualy unrapdishit) your posts vanish for no reason

Oh, this happens here too.
Just a few days ago I received a warning for not providing screencaps... although the screencaps were obviously there:
I was like LOL... WTF?! :surprised2:
But my experiences with message boards moderators over the years have tought me that it's not worth asking questions... :silence:

I'd say the problem wasn't the screencaps, but the lack of file information that was the problem.
When you put information as text within the post, it is saved directly to the AO database. But when you simply rely on information generated in screencaps (and not all screencap programs generate the same information), that data can go missing if the image is deleted from the image host, broken links, people having trouble connecting to the image host, image hosts suddenly blocking the AO referrer, etc.
The moderation is an effort to clean up the forums and keep all of the posts neat and consistent. It might seem annoying to bother uploaders with small details like how to format posts and what information to include, but for every additional consistently formatted post, AO becomes exponentially better all around for everyone. One extra minute on your behalf saves hundreds of users several man-hours of digging for information!
Sometimes a site doesn't allow hotlinking of images and in those cases the OP is just seeing the image from their browser cache. I thought that mightve been the case but I checked your post and it looks fine so I reversed the infraction.
