banning users/ips/wildcards, template based page layout system, some basic
header checking to determine uploaded files indeed are images. some basic
stats stuff, upload submit form checks to prevent flooding or abuse using
scripts to polute the system. and perhaps a few thingies more which I haven't
thought of yet.
