OP needs to weigh the pros and cons of uploading pictures vs. getting spammed.
Can always use Imgur.

If you're familiar with Imgur and you like posting images that way, then do that. But it's never going to be easier or display images better than just doing a copy and paste. People that find their way to this forum who aren't familiar with Imgur will probably know how to copy and paste.
Joining a forum group automatically subscribes a forum user to notifications. But a one-time only, settings change to "Unsubscribe" from notifications in each group wil stop notifications and still retain the ability to copy and paste images.
It's misleading and does a disservice to new forum users to make them think they must "Leave" a forum group and lose the ability to copy and paste in order to stop forum notifications.

It's a disservice to newcomers to assume your process works. Perhaps you missed the reply to your process, "Mine still are coming in and I went and unsubscribe a few days ago I'm getting real..."
Just leave the group. If you need to upload, join, leave...enjoy spam-free life.

It's not my process. I didn't approve it, design it, code it, deploy it or even think it was well thought out. But it does work. After all the years you've been in the forums and the multiple times I've explained it to you, you know it works. I think you may have taken an "anti-grouper" position a long time ago and don't want to deviate from it now because you think it would make you look bad.
My guess is the OP probably has no clue that "Unsubscribe" is a forum process in settings. It can also be accomplished by clicking "Turn Reply notifications off" on each forum's home page. OP most likely used that word in a generic sense. She also said she "unchecked" all notifications on this website. The only things on this website that can be "unchecked" are options on the "Settings" page that haven't worked for more than 4 years. I don't believe OP ever actually went through the processs to "Unsubscribe" from forum notifications.
For a demo , I subscribed to "Phone" forum notifications. To "Unsubscribe":
Click the Profile icon > Settings menu item > Subscriptions tab
Click "Unsubscribe"
I'll now only receive forum notifications for threads in which I've participated and haven't selected "Turn Reply notifications off" for that specific thread.
