Legally, Graal can't be hosting any copyrighted files on their servers. Technically having it there for a few minutes wont do harm, but its best to just use imageshack or another similar site for those kind of things.

midis are fine as long as they are not copyrighted. The rules is more in place to prevent people from uploading their whole music collection and using it for a radio. By streaming it, legal issues are avoided.

Again, technically it wont do harm if its only there for a few minutes, but it avoids issues with copyrights when other applications are used to transfer non Graal-related files....although, it's not like anyone would notice if its only there for a few minutes anyways ;]

Long may it stay that way.

I think the main problem is that you get staff members who are actually playing the game without a staff tag on and when they send a mass message about selling/trading items, a player ignoring masses will still get that PM. It would be nice if only masses from a staff tag were able to override the mass messages ignored option.
