Is it possible yet to allow only staff or moderators to upload pictures? If not, it should be done. I have 20Gb free space on my server, for big community it’s like a month or two to fill. Especially if there’s gonna be **31 megabyte gifs!** So I disabled uploading for now (except avatars), but I need my staff to have this feature. Because they create important topics and I don’t want pictures to be missed from there. And I don’t give a care about pics in regular users junk-topics - yes. :troll:
