It is not against the TOU for an admin to alter a personal user page.

Users do not "own" their user pages or message walls. (Wikia Staff have confirmed this for me in the past)

An admin probably shouldn't edit a user page without a reason - but it's perfectly normal for an admin to remove content which goes against the policies of the wiki, or the TOU.

Of course, Wikia allow admins to do anything they want - and I've had my user page deleted outright for arbitrary reasons by admins who operate without policies.

I don't touch user pages except to move unofficial items placed on official pages to the poster's user page for safekeeping rather than eliminating the item altogether. I personally wouldn't add content to a user's page - if I was going to do that, I would probably post it on their talk page/message wall instead.
