Whilst I see the value in limited the size of uploads, I do think it should be the admin’s choice to disable uploads completely.

I’m about to start hosting a football club forum, with 10k daily page views. As it stands, we will only have $10pm to fund the hosting on DO. So any measure that I can introduce to reduce OpEx is highly desirable. Disabling uploads to reduce storage costs is definitely one of them.
