Munch,
In all fairness, when somebody starts a thread as "Can anyone post pictures of Wendy..." and then somebody does just that, it seems churlish to castigate him. If posting pictures to a thread is depricated behavior, then this kind of "picture thread" ought to be simply banned outright.
Finally, whatever GCG's overall posting history is, I don't think that three posts in one day--all from different, acceptable sources--is cause to complain. Even in the UG, the limit is five. Historically, people have put dozens of pictures in forum threads in no time at all.
