One per day seems to be the general consensus here and that sounds reasonable. If some people find that too restrictive and pull up stakes, so be it. You'll never please everyone. As for leaving things the way they are, clearly, the mods felt they had to address the constant complaints voiced by some people about "Too many." Too many new images burying my masterpiece, too many nude Vickys, too many poor images, etc. etc. etc. Sadly, I think any new limits will probably fail to quell this issue, but at least they won't be able to say that nothing was done. There is a gem buried here, rebekah's idea of a fixed gallery size. Give everyone a chunkm of space to use as they wish. Twenty-five is probably too small but perhaps 100 images per user would be sufficient. Ideally the most recent (x number) of images from each person's gallery would show up in the "main gallery" and clicking on one would take you to all their works.
