Of course, anything is possible, but let's look at this differently. We have
significantly more users from mobile uploading bad images than we do on
desktop.

This got personal for me as I have 294 edits on Wikipedia and I frequently
enjoy uploading images from mobile to articles which need them. Upping the
limit to 400 stops me from doing this which makes me really sad :-(.

I think something like an edit count of 10 makes sense but I worry anything
higher basically turns Commons into an elite members only club. We cut out rare
images from developing worlds (see this inspiring success story that was
enabled by mobile uploads for example -
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation/67982 - by a user who
only has an edit count of 77 [1].

To me this opens up the bigger and more important question:
How can we get these users uploading good images?

Open questions:
* Are we seeing the same repeated offenders uploading images in good faith? Is
there a way we can communicate to them better?
* Are we sending messages to users? Are they responding? Do they repeat upload?
