Option to deactivate the file upload possibility

1 Requirements

Currently, there is no option to deactivate the file upload for a new post.
 
To prevent illegal file uploads, protect the servers disk space, to keep the forum small and perfomant or to prevent the users from posting companies secrets there should be an option to deactivate the file upload possibility for the whole forum.
 
Alternatively it could be a editable right for a local or global role.
