Does anyone know of a way to apply a monthly upload quota for images? I'm not seeing a way to achieve this. So, is there a third-party app for this, or an app which gets somewhere close enough to this to make a conversation with the developer worthwhile?

This seems like a very obvious way to generate income for forums. A base monthly allowance, and a potential upgrade plan (or plans). As it stands, all we can do is apply a limit which affects all members, those who upload infrequently and judiciously; and those who post the largest images they can get away with and frequently. Yes, we can have different usergroups and charge to access those. But it is an inelegant solution because it is still a hard, lifetime limit.

It would be nice to differentiate between long-term members who make infrequent use of uploading images. They should be able to continue to do this without obstruction because they usually bring other things to the table. If we up the lifetime limit to a level where they are unaffected, newer members who post images in scatter gun fashion can also take advantage of the same, high limit. This is a poor solution.

Any ideas? Any third-party developers who might like to look at this or incorporate into an existing product?

Thanks.

I would certainly support it as a feature request to IPS.

My power user keep hitting the upload limit and I reluctantly increase it again and again, because they add useful attachments, even though I don’t really want to grant that limit to “drive-by users“ who might waste space with just a few posts. Upload limits that can also take time into account would be useful.
