And when you say "was known to be a lunatic" at the end of the day, there are two sides to every story. You can't just expect Staff to get a report from one user and ban someone right away based on what that user says. Staff are not require to get involved in every little "Abuse of Power" because i the end most of them are just really disputes that angry users are labeling as abuses.

If you don't like how a certain Wikia is run, don't go there, go somewhere else. Unless the majority of that community is unhappy then there's nothing to be done as majority rules. not going to disagree over the community discussion... that was example of an actual problem

I am not going to go further into details but a good majority now after the user was globally banned now hate him. local staff didn't bother until he went after them which to an extent is unacceptable. Staff was sent multiple reports that was cross wiki in regards to his behavior, in the end they even said that they don't "support" his behavior but didn't block him until over a year later.


 * messing with reviews when it was known that it was being replaced with a new system was being implemented


 * continuously reviving old blog and forum discussion after being warned multiple times


 * general disruptive behavior, disrespect, threats of blocks on other wiki


 * cross wikia disruptive behavior


 * created hate wiki for HQ, turned a rival wiki into a miserable place


 * promoted by mistake


 * multiple sockpuppets


 * was given 2 previous global bans and various blocks across wikia


 * edit warred on vstf wiki report pages, vstf sided with him over making illegitimate removals

note: local staff failed to enforce their own rules on main wiki

I don't want to continue this, so don't bother responding. no reason to bring this back up. just take it as an example that they won't intervene unless discussion is actually held somewhere.
