Can you suggest a similarly large service that does better?
I can tell you first hand that reddit and twitter absoltely give not the slightest shit about constant harassment, impersonation, and posting threats and personal information: Except when I pick up the phone and directly apply pressure to the legal or executive staff via connections.

This isn't the case here. Wikipedia has a established governance process for dealing with trouble making administrators, who regularly handle highly private confidential information-- and they're equally in the dark here. There is a process, but it isn't the users who aren't trusting it-- It's the WMF that is not trusting, bypassing the process, and not acting in a transparent manner.
