Retaliation

Because of the Wikia skin, several admins and crats on several Wikias have been stripped of their leadership positions. Several editors have also been banned. Below is an incomplete list of these cases.

Reverting banners and protecting pages

 * Wikia's hired WowWiki admin created a forum page (now deleted) announcing a new policy to permaban users that advertise other sites, especially Wowpedia, on user talk pages. It has been replaced by a proposal after a forum complaining about a new policy being created without proper consensus. (Apparently, the original thread was a direct order from Wikia on how they think the site should be run).
