Experience suggests that members either don't know about these exhortations or, if they do, they don't follow them. As you know, I'm not shy about hitting the Report Abuse button, but I don't think I've ever reported a large graphic. How often does that happen in practice?
I'm not saying I don't agree with limitations. I just think that the focus on avatars and signatures overlooks a lot of graphical content that pose problems for bandwidth-limited and screen-limited browsers that are at least as great as those items.
