Actually, part of my advice to HeroGaming was directly related: to cut down on off-wiki chats and put conversations in plain view. There is a lot of "he said/she said" here that is impossible for me to really help with - and I'm not convinced that more off-wiki discussion will help that.

Mathmagician, I heard from you and Gracy via email, and HeroGaming via Skype, and currently don't see a way to untangle what's going on behind the scenes. That pushes me back to the general principle of us trying to allow communities to run themselves, rather than us jumping in on conflicts. As I said in my mail, while the voting seems clearly influenced by HeroGaming's YouTube following, viewers/readers of the wiki are also part of the wiki, and so the strong result there still has some validity. That was an influence on deciding not to intervene in the rights removal and bans at the moment.

I'm still watching this situation, and will certainly be talking (on-wiki) with HeroGaming about the wiki's video policies.
