    You seem to keep flipping on this point, which is confusing to me.

    If a limit must be applied for that reason, then so be it.

    How much server costs would be saved though by this limiting, or is that simply a theoretical consideration?

    Wouldn’t more savings be possible by something else like limiting uploaded image sizes, or like only allow 10 images per month (uploading a new one automatically deletes the prior one)? And if so, what is the benefit of that other solution vs. the effects of throttling the top contributors? Both decrease the overall health of the network, so which at least maximizes the savings from having done so?
