While we appreciate that you want to help, we at this Wiki respect copyright laws. This is why we do not allow images from just anywhere. Just because you find an image online does not mean you can just take it and put it wherever you like. Someone created it, and therefore owns it, and deserves credit for their work. We have been privileged that ABC has actually given us permission to use their official images, and it's a privilege I'm not going to allow to be abused. Would want someone stealing something you worked hard to make?

The phrase "hardly has anyone [...] complaining to us" implies that you have had complaints before, and that's exactly what we want to avoid. I know some of our rules are very different from other Wikia communities, but they've actually stood us in very good stead. We have a wonderful team of hardworking editors, including with images, and our numbers, in terms of visits and users, are just going up, so we're not at all worried about anyone "avoiding us". We, all of our community, have worked hard to create the best community possible and we've established ourselves as a dependable resource, so please, I ask that you respect our rules. If you're not getting your images from an official source, with permission, please don't upload them. If you decide you can't comply with that and feel you no longer wish to contribute here, that's certainly not what we want, but it's your decision.
