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)
