Forum:Disabling upload for non-autoconfirmed

Recently, as you can see at the upload log, there have been massive uploads by users without any reason, or for advertisements. I think we should disable uploads for all users, except those that are autoconfirmed (active for over 4 days). This way users who want to make uploads that actually make sense are able to, and we don't have to add all those I's. What's your opinion about this?

 * Does autoconfirmed work on Wikia? From where the date of first edit is taken, local wiki or global? --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 16:15, November 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm reasonably sure it's global, from date of account creation. - Adan Aileron (talk) 17:39, November 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * Mmm... I'm not sure, though I'm sure Wikia can find something for it. Maybe a certain amount of edits. Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 17:43, November 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think the autoconfirmed would be very useful. HiddenKnowledge 17:59, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

We have considered that, but remember that the main forums are here, so that means sometimes people need to be able to upload an image of a bug/problem, and we dont want to make them wait 4 days to add an image (though they should be reporting the bugs to Wikia Staff first, and they can email the images to community@wikia.com directly). We instead rely on the community of "regulars" here to spot these images and mark them so that the faithful admins/helpers/staff can quickly take care of them without hunting them down. --Uberfuzzy 20:14, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Didn't consider that... Nvm then ;). Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 22:58, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
