I (Kumioko) have attempted to get clarification from the WMF why I was banned but I have yet to receive it and frankly don't expect too. Most likely it was because I had been blocked on three projects and IRC and they knew at this point I wasn't going to stop fighting what I continue to feel were politically motivated and policy violating project bans.
Obviously I disagree with the ban given by the WMF the amount of work I have done on the projects and the amount of time I have been fighting to improve the environment there however I have always maintained that the WMF, more than the individual admins, have a right to ban whomever they want for pretty much any reason they want. I am naturally disappointed they chose to do it to me instead of truly problematic individuals like Floquenbeam or Drmies but it's not unexpected. So although I am not happy about it, the WMF has the ultimate right to ban people and I have to abide by that whether I want too or not.
The WMF probably doesn't have a good reason, at least from a legally defensible position to ban me or most others including Greg for that matter so the less they say about it that can be used against them the better. Especially sinc there are policies that state to "ignore all rules" and because they bill themselves as the "Encyclopedia anyone can edit". It is important to note that we are not "Legally banned", meaning the legal team was not involved in the decision but we are "Globally banned" meaning that most likely it was just Jason Alexander making the call.
Also, there was a recent dispute on Wikipedia review where a member was referring to me as a pedophile and after repeatedly asking them to stop and after the mods refused to take action, I was forced to go to proboards to have it removed. After I did that, then the mods removed it, changed the logic in the board so that word cannot even be used there and then banned me because they were mad I went over their heads and complained about libelous statements that they would not do anything about. So, if you go looking for me there as Kingsidian suggests, I am not there.
So although I haven't always had kind things to say about some of the people or atmosphere here, no one here has tried to get me fired from my job like people on Wikipedia have and you didn't ban me because I complained about libelous statements like Wikipedia review. So Wikipediocracy is still better than both of those in my book. Cheers!
It's interesting he attributes the ban to unilateral action of the WMF's "Jason Alexander" whom readers from the prior Proboards Wikipedia Sucks! board will recall behaved thuggishly to a photographer-journalist at a San Diego Wikipedia event.
As well that he claims to have been called "pedophile" (something I never remotely thought of Kumioko and disbelieve entirely) at the Wikipedia Review Proboards board. I would caution those who run this board to keep their guard up against trolls that make loose accusations or insinuations of pedophilia. I suspect their motive is to take down the board in question.
EDIT: fix typo only.
