You don't have to upload new images, you have to add content alongside them, for legal reasons. The images that do not belong to us are there only to serve as illustration, because if they're used in any other way, that's copyright violation, and that's where law enforcement comes. The first step is us, we need to be careful that no one uses images just to use images, because, well, it's not legal. The next step is the author of the work, who can oppose the usage of this image with a DMCA claim. And that starts to get pretty bad. Because the way you use images makes it so that we are vulnerable to any kind of DMCA claim, and the next step of law enforcement is either Wikia, or a court. We either risk thousands of dollars or we lose the website. And that is just what can happen with one image. I'm not talking about the images I've created, because these are only supported by inner agreements, so the only thing that can happen is for you to be banned if you use them in a way other than review if the image wasn't meant for you, but pretty much any other image here doesn't belong to anyone. You can try to be funny and have good times as much as you want, that's for sure, but there's a moment where we have to intervene when it comes to something that big.
