Images can be abused and if they already earn merit (one at least) they will be able to show images later when ranking up to Junior Members. About one month of waiting since date of registration is not too long.
Due to abuse, newbie-posted embedded images are now disabled on these pages:

Disabled images get transformed into links automatically. When the poster becomes a Jr member, the images that he tried to post previously will automatically be re-enabled (though there might be a few minutes of delay).

This extends to all past posts as well as future ones.



Unofficial solutions

Readers / viewers can see Newbie's images if newbies know the method to post their images.

On imgur.com, after you upload image, you will have to click on:

Copy Link -- Get share links -- Some options to choose:

[list type=decmial]
[li]Share Link[/li]
[li]HTML Embed[/li]
[li]BBCode (Forums)[/li]
[li]Markdown (Reddit)[/li]
[/list]

If they choose the third, they can not display images anyway and need quotes for users at higher ranks to display images in quotes. Fortunately, with this option, their images will automatically displayed later when they rank up to Junior Member at least.

If they choose the first option, viewers can see their images at their post history. Images are shared by Share Link option will be displayed on Newbies' post history page. You can check.  Cheesy
