Allowing other image hosting sites incase CubeUpload shuts down

I think the difference that has resulted in this decision is that links to webpages are merely just links to other websites, while images will embed an image onto the page itself within Scratch, so there's a bigger issue with image tags since some inappropriate image could be instantly placed on the forums rather than having to require someone to click a link going to another site.

Hey, things are rejected for good reasons.

Full Support! On my older accounts, I used Tinypic, and now they’re gone.

No support on Google Photos, as that contain some (usually) unmoderated pictures. It also has terrible labeling(A guy made a album with pictures of his black friend, and Google Photos labeled the album “Hanging out with Gorilla”)
As Za-Chary said, xomf.com is rejected.

In a recent tweet by the CubeUpload people, it stated that they are running low on funds and are considering shutting the site down. As tinypic has shut down as well, we need another free image hosting site to be on the whitelist.
Here's some sites I'd like to see:
Imgur back
Google Photos
https://imgbb.com
These are all free and easy sites to use. Please consider this, we NEED a backup site.

The one I want is Github. I can put a image in my respitory the link, copy paste the raw link, then i can use it!

Yeah, that would be cool since I already upload some of my work there for people to see it. But the Scratch Team probably won't include that.

I wouldn't say good. Children should be taught to disapprove inappropriate content, not to ignore its existence. If a child doesn't know that something inappropriate exists, then stumbles upon it and likes it, cue the rollercoaster.
I say that rules should be enforced, but not unbreakable. If no examples can be made, then no examples will be made. If the ST doesn't make examples of punishment for rule-breaking, or how strict the rules are, then noobs won't understand what they can do and what they can't do, besides the vaguely-defined guidelines. (“Many different ages? Okay, well thousands of profanity-screaming seven-year-olds plague the servers of each Call of Duty game, so I'll use that as a basis.”)
TL;DR: Censorship should be done by hand, not by code.

I think the ST should allow other image hosting sites because CubeUpload may shutdown soon and TinyPic has already shut down

Once we figured out that xomf was a fail, we pushed for ImgBB. @Za-Chary said he was going to talk to the ST about it.

I have several arguments for you;
1. Just because one kid may be able to handle inapp content, doesn't mean every kid is.
2.Some censorship is ALREADY DONE BY HAND. Do you think the (Removed by moderator) things aren't done by hand?! Are you saying the ST relies ENTIRELY ON BOTS to protect the website?!
3. Oh look! AN EXAMPLE:

TL;DR: Most of your arguments are invalid. I don't want to start a flame war, please, so if you have more arguments, please say them constructively.

Cubeupload seem to be doing OK now - their twitter account has posted thanking everyone for their donations, and they actually have enough money now to upgrade their hosting server, so that's good news!

However it wouldn't hurt to have a new alternative, such as imgbb.
