Description Danny B. 2008-10-19 11:32:43 UTC 
Currently, when user saves the page, there's no info that the image has been rejected by bad image list. There should be same info/warning/error message like the one used when spam link is entered.

Hmm, this may serve as security through obscurity a bit by not letting vandals know what is going on.

Not sure how that helps... It's not like vandals can remove images from the list or something.

True, but they can keep trying images until one gets through. Whereas with the current setup, they're caught on their first attempt.
