I suppose this ideal mod in question would, upon submitting a posting, see an image tag within the post (either the standard IMG or a special BBcode imag tag designed for this auto-hosting process), go fetch the remote file and host it automatically, and substitute the remote original URL with the new forum's hosting URL. Having it watermark the acquired image would be a plus.

It's a lot of trouble having to first manually download an image and then upload it into a hosting service. Any suggestions appreciated.

It is possible, but I have not seen anything like that here.

You may want to look at Links and Downloads Manager or DownloadsII, as they some elements that you are asking about, but not all of them.
