"That link you gave me doesn't explain anything about the Special:Promote feature. Ironic that you tell me not to make assumptions when that's what you've done to me :/ I've made no assumptions here, simply worked on the facts that I have."

That's indeed the problem of working with data without the full context. To see how the old tool worked you can check out the old page archives, promote. Something you probably didn't know is that more than 1 image could be uploaded to represent and promote the wiki. "What I want to highlight to staff is that even when unlawful use was brought to their attention, they were happy to allow it to remain unlawfully on the wiki."

Not sure what means you used to indicate that issue, but the appropriate one is this:http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:DMCARequest. Although that's generally used by the actual authors of the content or their representative. If  one staff member fails to address the problem then you can escalate the issue to their supervisors or higher management, which is likely indicated on their staff page or possibly in the email footer.

If nothing else works you could always contact the legitimate owner and tell them about the infringement, and they'll address Wikia formally if they really care.

Not all authors really care about chasing down everyone who misuses their content.
