The rules of any particular wiki are as wiggly as the slmiest of snakes. Admins are afforded a position of trust, however, I have seen some individuals misuse that trust and apply punitive measures against targeted members.

The only way to rid the wiki of an admin is to go up against an admin (or admin policy) when you know an admin is perfectly willing to block you for speaking up. In some wiki's, the policy is to never allow that member to become an admin himself/herself, thereby ridding the current leadership of any competition for their leadership role. Although, not RL (thank goodness), a wiki run by such leadership is no longer a fun and open place to be.

It's an unfortunate fact that some people can worm their way into a wiki through a back door and apply the rules in any biased way they see fit and there is very little that can be done about it as Fandom does not have a system of arbitration and leaves so much up to an admin run community. It has been suggested that Fandom is fully aware of the irony in that. LOL
