Noel,
A moderated user is allowed to upload photos - surely this is a bug?
I don't think it is so much a bug as something that hasn't been done. It is on the to-do list:
Also:
In Yahoo Groups we had a checkbox to prevent a member from uploading files, but for photos we only got a notification, no ability to moderate or block an individual member from uploading.
The following are some observations and wishes from what I have tried
(perhaps I've missed something).
The rest of these I don't see on the to-do list.
Posting in beta@ a well-written description of what you want is likely to be the best way to get it on the to-do list.
Myself I'd like to see a "grand unification" of sorts of photos, files, and possibly wiki-pages such that they have the same capabilities, despite being presented differently. That is, I don't see why the ability to make subfolders (aka nested albums) should be a feature of Files but not Photos. Likewise with cut-and-paste for moving them around.
And the other way too: if we gain the ability to moderate or selectively block the upload of photos, we should have that ability with respect to files also. And wiki pages, perhaps.
