As far as I can see, not only does marking images for deletion not require a
login, but such edits do not even show up in the revision history.

This vandalism is probably being done by hand, but it wouldn't be hard to
write a script that would autodelete images throughout the site... and you
wouldn't even notice the changes in the revisions or recent changes page.
Scary.

I guess in a world of mass-murder, pillage and rape, one shouldn't be too
surprised, but the mind boggles as to what this vandal thinks he or she is
accomplishing by this...
