Still the same issues you haven't addressed.


 * 1) The Terms of Use are fairly lenient, so "overboard" is subjective and hard to define. If there's a ToU violation, staff can be alerted directly.
 * 2) No matter how much they investigate, there is no guarantee this board will ever find a 100% true picture. Neither side will give an accurate account of events; humans are naturally biased in their own favor. This is further hampered by things like chat (which has no absolutely reliable log) and (potentially) other off-wiki fora or chat programs, which would be difficult/impossible for this board to review. The 100% "truth" cannot be found, because they'll never know if you've missed something vital.

Additionally, you write this from the perspective of the poor, innocent, persecuted user. So here's one: what if you lose the case? What if your precious board investigates this and rules in favor of the admin? Would you suddenly call that previously "unjust" block just, see the error of your ways and improve your behavior? Or would your grudge against that admin/wiki grow further? It takes multipule look overs before a final verdict and the innocent user can function as a witness.
