Submissions with third party images

Recently there have been a few submissions seen in OPR/Wayfarer with third party images, some copyright images off Flickr and some simply screenshots of Google Street View. Even when 1 starred as third party images, a few have slipped through and gone live.

Now the annoying part.

When these have been reported through the chat bot, the response has been that a new image has to be submitted before the third party image is removed. Surely a copyright third party image should be deleted immediately and the submitter warned/banned. It should not require somebody else going out of their way to submit a new image to get an obvious copyright infringement removed.

Would we be better off getting the copyright holder to send a DMCA takedown?
