Recently, as you may know, User:Evanf decided to unilaterally disable article comments. He has made decisions like this before, without any input from the other admins or the community — and when User:Jessie1010 caleed him out on this, Evanf created this poll. Within an hour, this poll recieved 18 votes. That first aroused my suspicion. Since we are a very inactive wiki, I couldn't imagine any poll getting that amount of votes for anything in just one hour.

Now I've worked on kids' shows wikis for well over three years, and whenever the discussion included whether to keep article comments, the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of keeping them. The vote at that time was over 2-3 in favor against keeping AC's, and that virtually never happens on a wiki where the subject's demographic skews so young. Jessie1010 was even recruiting users to vote in favor of keeping comments! So I thought proxy IP's may be at work voting against them.

The other thing that aroused my suspicion was a user a while back that apparently "hacked" Evanf's account. A user by the name of "Jokestar" declared himself the new bureaucrat, and told everyone that he was 'hand picked' by Evanf to be the new bureaucrat (see file). After I raised questions about this redistribution of power, he was "caught". He then proceeded to block and demote all of the administrators and delete the Main Page. Evanf claimed he was hacked, and he "hacked him back".

When I put two and two together, coupled with how badly Evanf wanted article comments gone, I suspected that Evanf may actually be Jokestar per wikipedia:DUCK, I also thought he might be using proxy IP's to vote on the AC poll.

I emailed Wikia to request an IP check for Evanf and Jokestar. The results came back positive — they are the same person, he was not hacked (see photo).

Evanf blocked Jessie1010 claiming he had vandalized pages. His account, along with any other account Evanf claimed was him, never vandalized this wiki. After being tired of arguing, Evanf unblocked Jessie1010 and blocked his alternate, User:AusllyFanBoy101, who also never vandalized. The truth is, is that Evanf and Jessie1010 have an ongoing feud that leaks over into wiki administration.

Evanf then proceeded to delete all threads and blogs that complained about him, trying to rid the wiki of all evidence. For these reasons we are voting on the removal of his administrative rights.

Even though we are voting, we'll come to agreement as a community by '''consensus, not voting. '''Administrators' votes will be counted seperately. If decided upon, we will contact Wikia to remove administrative power. Here's how to vote:
