I really haven't looked into the banning's either, but the ones I've seen are also justified in my eyes. Again those are the ones I've seen, many of them were for spamming blogs, using inappropriate language, which the staff was very tolerant of I have to say. I don't know about cross bans yet, but I also haven't looked into the situation that much either.

Dammej, you are correct about the edit summaries in that is what is usually put up. They haven't removed anything about voting or its results, which is well within their rights to do so. I'm actually surprised that Anti-Wikia Alliance page is still up, even though, from what I've heard, a few staff members deleted it, one I know of, and it always was restored by another staff member.

To get another wiki above the one hosted on Wikia will take a lot, a lot of effort as even those Wikis that have left some users are still staying around. So I doubt that they will get the ShoutWiki version of the Simpsons wiki above WikiSimpsons, which Wikia hosts, any time soon.

I'm not defending them either, I don't like this situation more than a few other people, considering it is being forced on us, but the staff does need to start showing that they are doing something about all the negative feedback. So far there has been nothing from the staff on that front except for a few small changes that only came out of the beta forum.
