I know for a fact that they do use this for flagging, but the pixel color concentrations are checked against images elsewhere on the web. It's similar to what TinEye does. If an image's color saturation and pattern matches something that they've already either blacklisted or at least raises questions, it gets flagged.
As for their technology, we're dealing with the biggest company on the web, whose resources are borderline laughable.

So perhaps relegating such content to a sub-forum that wipes anything older than a few weeks would keep you below that hurdle.
Yeah, it's not automated. It just flags the instance.
