"Always said"? I don't buy it. Admins have always been allowed to custom develop skins for their audiences.

Edit: This is what Sannse said a few pages back:

"There’s logic coming that will change the number of spotlights depending on the length of articles. Removing spotlights yourself will not be allowed (that’s already against the Terms of Use) and we are working on policies on removing other features for other users. You can always remove or modify anything you like with your personal CSS pages of course."

Which means,they're working on policies stating you can't remove the fun modules that "helps Wikia grow" and "stay with the times."

Seriously, how much do you pay your lawyers for this stuff? Because that money could be invested elsewhere.

Wikia used to be about wikis fostering communities and being unique. Heck, we used to have Wikia staff who cared about communities. Now they tell users whatever legal drafts up for them.
