How many times do I have to tell you not to listen to strangers?

Moderators can't touch each other's, or user accounts. That stuff has to be done directly in the database.
As for missing stuff.. We'll see if any such things continue happening. I honestly believe that all this jumping up and down about things being removed is (mostly) just an overreaction to a few isolated incidents. There have been no new complaints for a while, and things are being kept in check. I'm not going to second guess the moderators though, they've been trusted with a task, and to that end I support what they're doing. They're doing me, and thus everybody a favour by truly helping out the site, let's not forget that.
My biggest worry always was disappearing forum threads, not images.
