Stop the facebook invasion

Alright....so i'm sure you know that the direct upload button has led to some horrible things. There have been a lot of people joining imgur for the sole purpose of spamming/flooding the gallery with crap. We can downvote or report them, but that gets tiring. I was thinking that the number of uploads one can make should be limited to their 'reputation' points. I mean, start off not being able to upload any at all, be able to upload 1 a day once you're trusted, etc. That way, people integrate to the community a bit and get to know what imgur's all about. This unlimited uploads policy is being abused in a big way.
