Am I The Only One With This Rule?

Not OK -
http://www.yourdomain.com/free/sitename/index.html
http://www.yourdomain.com/somethingelse/pics/pic1.jpg

I've been declining 90% of the submitted sites because people are not following this rule. Am I being too picky? I always get a feeling that something is "fishy" when webmasters can't put their 20 pics and html pages in the same directory. Maybe not everyone has a lot of disk space with their host or something. Anyway, thought I'd ask and see if other link lists require something similar or maybe I'm just being a hard ass and need to change this rule.

I know you think it is "fishy" but what is the purpose of the rule?
