Image upload prevented for new users is restricting discussions

#1 · 10-10-20

Hi there.

I'd like to suggest that the image upload restriction on new accounts is highly limiting for new users especially when requesting assistance in the DIY/Electrical/Home and construction forums. Example of one situation is below, but this has been an issue for quite some time:

Could I suggest that the limitation be relaxed for discussions in the home & garden forums as this would encourage new users to be able to visually describe their situations and is unlikely to result in spam/unsuitable images, etc…

Thanks!

I suspect problem might be that it is either permitted to ALL forums/threads from post 1 or restricted up to certain points achieved.
Now imagine what would happen with all those spam posts we currently have on hourly basis….

It can be granted on a per poster basis once they have posted a few genuine posts
