FYI: Reddit now rehosts all images that are posted as direct image links from Imgur.

I tried searching and didn't see anything calling this out, but I think it's worth calling attention to.

I noticed this browsing some NSFW content when I stumbled across a user's post history that contained some deleted submissions. The posts show as being posted by [deleted], and when I click on the submission link I am taken to the generic Imgur link for a deleted image: http://ift.tt/1eXCOwg However, when I click on "Full Comments (x)" I see the image previewed in the comments because it is rehosted on reddituploads.com I don't want to link to the exact example I stumbled upon because it's obvious this particular user no longer wants those images on the internet, but here is a random example I found on /r/nsfw. Notice it shows as submitted by [deleted] and when you click the content link you are taken to the "Image has been deleted" page on Imgur, however you still see the original image at the top of the comments because it is rehosted on reddituploads.

I thought this is worth calling attention to for users that may post some naughty pictures of themselves they later want removed as they will now need to contact Reddit to remove the pictures in addition to deleting them from Imgur. Especially since I am not aware of any way to remove the content from Reddituploads yourself.
