Embedded images for new users

Yo guys, you might say I'm biased, but that is honestly a genuine suggestion.

I tried making a new post and it wouldn't let me embed my images (they now appear in text). I Googled it and apparently you need 20(?) posts here in order to be able to do so.

Why?

I understand not allowing new users to post links - but you do allow it, and yet forbid embedded images... Is there a reason? The only thing I can think of is if this forum had been flooded with bots who post shitload of pics, but that sounds unlikely, so I'm not sure.

Cheers!

You got it, it's because of spamming bots, that want to advertise some random crap.
The amount of posts needed to post embedded images varies on how many spamming bots we currently have.

We don't see a reason why we should change that as the system is helping us.

It does help against spammers.
