Hubs that are all photos-No Text

since when are picture hubs against Hubpages' TOU?
i see a lot of picture hubs, some from top hubbers, that consist of an introductory paragaph, tons of pictures of Indian and other actresses and models, and their stats and that's prety much it. many of these don't credit their photos either - should those be flagged?
i also see some hubbers who put photos they took on their hubs and they are beautiful images and people seem to enjoy them. i myself did one funny picture hub about a dark and stormy night, and another hub in which i posted photos i took and people liked it.
i thought we were only supposed to flag hubs with objectionable content like obvious sexual images or excessively violent content, etc.
i'm confused
that is not substandard. i think we, being intelligent people, can tell what substandard is. (cool i will have to check out your hub
oh, ok. that makes sense. but then again, i don't think that just pictures constitutes a poor-quality hub. i have seen some strictly picture hubs that have stunning images in them, and some with pictures that tell a story or have an interesting message in them. and i have seen lengthy hubs with lots of words and no pictures that are boring or downright strange, and some with offensive content. i think only if a hub clearly violates HubPages' TOS should it be 'reported' and 'flagged'. if people want to flag someone'e hub just because they didn't write anything that seems kind of mean-spirited. maybe they spent a lot of time gathering their images or photographing them and they still have to open picture capsules and add the pictures. who cares how much time they spent crafting it? if this is strictly a writing site, why not eliminate the picture capsules altogether or restrict hubbers to one, if this is such a flaggable, reportable offense?
i like cindy's idea of restricting picture and photo hubs to a separate category. this way people know what they are getting - a whole lotta pictures.
Being a hubber who has some photo hubs of women in bikinis or swimsuits, I'm inclined to say flag any hubs that consist of strictly pictures and NO text.
My hubs with models in bikinis or swimsuits, at least have some text on the hub and also utilize other things, such as link capsules, polls and news feeds.
But, strictly pictures...flag. It isn't an article if there is no text.

Why are hubbers ignoring the substandard warning? Suggestion.......
I was hub hopping and had to flag a few hubs for being substandard (word count). One hub had exactly 10 words and 2 photos. There should be a way the system prevents you from publishing a hub like that except if it's in the poetry section.
