This is a very simple plugin that bakes cheesecake and apple pie. Actually, it extends the new Moderation filters to be able to limit the number of images embedded within a post. This could be probably done with a complex regex and without the need of a plugin, but that requires more skill than I currently have. Plus it's more user friendly this way. Plus now we have a plugin made that expands this lonely area.. Plus it's after three. Plus I should be in bed. Plus... hey, don't throw that plate at me!
I got this idea when I saw a support topic at SM asking about such, and was bewildered when the truth was revealed.
Implementing this was dead easy. Three lang strings, a template (yes, one sub-block), one hook. Took more time to research (!) this than to actually write it up!

Sweet, the moderation filters can be extended through the hooks! (Not tested, you see)
I still haven't figured out how to cope with making a nicer error message to users, though. I might just give them a space to add an explanation for the users rather than trying to write something that makes a sensible explanation out of the rules given how complex rules can actually be.

Also looks like you missed a language string...

Just a random thought, instead of doing a preg_replace first, couldn't you just:
return substr_count(strtolower($body), '[img');
(Yes, I looked at your max images plugin as the base for Word Count Limits. Made me realise how messed up the API is.)

It doesn't account for whitespace before the bracket.

What do you mean? It's looking for any img tag openers, not complete img tags...
