The image restriction is mainly to stop new accounts that spam stuff like referral/scam links and what not.
How would restricting images stop that? The restriction of prohibiting newbies posting images was due to someone botting the forum with pornographic images. To answer ops question, no, there is currently no way to speed up the process other than getting 30 activity or buying an account. It's hardly a lifetime though is it? I have previously suggested that automatic whitelisting ie removing all newbie restrictions should be included in some new donator ranks so people could pay a small fee to bypass them which I think would be helpful in your situation and stop people just buying accounts to dodge them.
To be more specific, it definitely doesn't stop it, but it minimizes the effect by a significant amount. Having images in a referral attempt is definitely more convincing than having a link alone. But yea, definitely can also be used with pornographic images. Not sure why they would do that though.
Ok so.. I wait 4 weeks.. thank you for answers and I do not want to buy accounts..
I am a stickler in these things.. I like doing things by myself you know...
But I understand in what way you explain it to me.. thank you..
but I still think, that if I contact support in some way they can speed up the process..
like... for normal person who want to post normal things you know..
but that's pity, that there is no solution for this.. I mean for normal people some verification... or something...
