Allowing image uploads for "normal" people
Is there any reason why image uploads are disabled for "normal" people? It is quite annoying to have to post an image URL and wait for a sysop to upload it for you (like for Writing Desk and Talk:Writing Desk). It's not a big vandalism problem - I've been on a rather frequented wiki with image uploads active for anonymous, and have only seen a single case of upload vandalism in a few months. --dgelessus (talk &middot; contribs) 20:59, 11 October 2013 (BST)
 * In order to upload images, you simply have to be auto-confirmed, which means a few edits patrolled by the wiki team, and then you'll be able to upload images without any issues Retep998 (talk) 00:46, 12 October 2013 (BST)
 * actually you have to get 50 edits and your account must be 1 week old to get autoconfirmed. The reason you see no vandal on other wikis is because there are more active admins there. --  Jin bo  bo  04:34, 12 October 2013 (BST)
 * Let's say I've been actively watching the recent changes/logs, so I would've noticed anyway. Also, is "patrolled" the same as "checked" on this wiki, or is that separate? And will the annoying captchas be gone once I am autoconfirmed? --dgelessus (talk &middot; contribs) 10:37, 12 October 2013 (BST)
