1) Eos's implementation only affects a few threads. Your implementation would affect the entire forum experience.
2) People who troll and have huge egos would just stop posting pictures. It wouldn't solve anything. There are already pic limitations in place (2MB), number of photos per post restrictions, and size restrictions to prevent images from bleeding out of the post divs.
3) The moderated queue is an already built-in feature of vBulletin. Your feature would require custom coding. I understand you don't know what resources are available.

The purpose of what Eos has done is to prevent certain users from posting in a thread. I don't understand how a limit for posting pictures achieves that.

1) It would affect new users only and leave veteran users (really the ones complaining and most affected by the filter) unaffected. The current one indiscriminately hinders the forum experience.

2) If that's the case then they can post/troll anywhere. I thought the major problem was in those threads they can freely just post a pic for the sole purpose of bragging and that was the whole point of filtering those specific threads.

My understanding was that these users only signed up in order to post in threads like those (which generally require pictures). It definitely stops what is theoretically the problem for Eos. Not only that, it works as a general solution as well. Accounts are more valuable,therefore there's a bit more to lose (such as your time) if you're going to troll/be an idiot.
