Examples would be useful, and I'll look into the reasons for their ban.

No, no, I'm saying they get banned for nitpicky reasons
completely unrelated to whatever they contribute, such as
images. Your loss.

We've not banned anybody for contributing
images to Wikipedia, be they
freely licence or copyrighted and used under our fair use provisions,

don't think we've blocked any users for
uploading fair use material
roughly
in accordance with policy (copyright, source,
rationale etc). People who
are
getting blocked are people who are claiming
copyright on work that is
not
theirs, and we're not talking about the
misguided souls who think
because
they've made a screenshot, they own the
copyright, we're talking about
people who continually claim ownership of stuff they're finding on the
internet in a deliberate attempt to circumvent fair use and deletion
policies.
