In a sense they do because without the community VGC wouldnt exist. Now I could be wrong but I wasnt aware of anyone paying for VGC data. Im pretty sure VGC makes money off of ads. Which means VGC gets paid by us coming to the site.

Ah damn, whadoyaknow, I was gunna fix that, but I didn't think you would push the point.
My point is that none of us have any right to hold them to any standard. They hold themselves to their highest standard and are doing their best to get into business territory. Revealing sources is not going to happen HAHA! That's like giving away the Famous Amos Cookie recipe!!
VGC will eventually be an actual business, subscribed to by companies. I exect this is part of the reason why this crackdown is occuring. IMO, to outsiders, it looks worse that people are trashing the site and numbers without repurcussion, than it is to see recitivists being banned.
On top of that, there is at least one source of people that despise VGC and write hate blogs about our credibility every day. These people have nothing better to do than start arguments on our site from new accounts, and trash ioi and the numbers for seemingly no reason. VGC has been quoted by dozens upon dozens of highly respected news sources and is quickly becoming a highly respected news source. Some people though, cannot bring themselves to put their arguments behind them. To some people, it won't matter if VGC become NPD.
