[wp-docs] hyperlinking images to Codex

[Lorelle VanFossen]

I've deleted five images in the past two weeks as "inappropriate image 
for the Codex". I've recently found out that these images are being used 
as gravatars and signature links on chats all over the web. People post 
these images where they can, and the openness of wikis is a prime 
target, and then link from there to the chats where the image is viewed 
as part of their messages and signature. This "hotlinking" then uses our 
bandwidth and not theirs. The trend appears to be growing on the 
WordPress Codex.

Setting up an anti-hotlink feature in the Codex's .htaccess could help 
prevent this in the future, but until this is done, please keep an eye 
out for such "inappropriate images" and either delete them or let one of 
the admins know. In general, the images tend to not be "offensive", but 
we need to keep on top of such inappropriate use since editors and 
authors use the image galleries often to find images to add to their 
articles and why clutter things up with pictures of angels, flowers, and 
fairies dancing in the woods.

Thanks,

Lorelle
