Will you ban me? It is not a good idea.
No... I really don't like banning anyone (or I simple can't people I want :P)
Main problem (hidden in the topic), is that:
People uploading copyvio images are not BAD, they are simple not
informed well !!
I don't know Spanish, so I can't check it by myself, but I have bad
feeling that closing upload on es.wiki was made in tihs way:
OK - we have same politics of licenses as commons, so we can close
upload on our wiki.
And now people come to commons, they don't know anything about
copyrights/licenses, they are unable to find anything in Spanish
language about it, so they do what they think is good...
This assumption is based on another observation:
Lots of uploads are fair use images from en.wiki and images from
'random' webpages.
On pl.wiki we have LARGE and clear instruction: If you don't know what
you are doing, don't even think of moving images from en.wiki and web,
and I think it works ...
So as said TOR: closing upload is OK, but it must be made with care
cause Commons is very very vulnerable project.

Now the "Upload file" on the spanish wiki links directly to the
commons upload dialog with spanish instructions (
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload?uselang=es )
First line, suggest to read First steps.
Second line: tells to upload only free stuff
3rd line: only upload useful stuff
4th line: give detailed info
So if anything needs to be added, it hsould be done at COmmons (since
it's where the page is located)
