^ That. Our max image size was left at 3072 kb. It looks like just over a year of constant screen-shot uploading, but we are still figuring that out. It doesn’t look malicious, just really keen/dedicated and we are a very screenshot-centric forum. One tutorial topic alone had over 100 images uploaded. An interesting thing is the 2nd place uploader has only 0.6 GB used, so we’ll talk to who is doing it and figure something better out.

I wonder if the trust\_levels could have a file/image quota added? I haven’t searched through the feature wishlist to find out as yet. This user is a level\_3.

EDIT: I added a feature idea here, if others might have the need too:

> [@User Upload Reporting & Quota](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-upload-reporting-quota/45976):

> We had a recent need to find where our uploads size was increasing quickly, so this feature request breaks down into two ideas: (1) A way to see per user the file upload capacity used, i.e. a per user total uploads in mb. (2) A trust-based or per-user upload quota limit that would either warn staff/admin that a quota was exceeded or prevent further uploading until the quota was increased. Our support experience I am basing this request for feature discussion is here:
