This is a good point! However, how well does the bad image list scale? I mean, right now there are what, 6-7 images so it isn't a problem, but if we include fair use restrictions on this and the list grows to the thousands, how much drain will this be on the servers? After all, the feature wasn't designed for that.
If server drain isn't much of a problem however, I think it would be a very good idea to discuss how/if we should use this for fair use questions.
