[Sickle]

You dont need to disable pictures. Just make it that they are link you have to click.

User CP > Setting and options > Edit options > Thread display options > Uncheck Show images box.

Don't click on links to pics from people with a join date as current month and only 1-5 posts.

If everyone just did this and took matters into their own hands then the GMs, Guides and administrators can get back to more important and pressing issues.
