This is exactly what went down in no uncertain terms...

These admins tried to tell people how to go about their real life buisness, those who did not follow their orders got punished as if they had broke wiki law,

admins CAN NOT dictate what people do in spare time, especially when it is not fandom related right?

so people got banned for choosing what to do on Xmas day for themselfes, not letting a stranger tell them what to do. And what about the casual user? someone who did not even see his message about not posting on that day, they got banned for no reason, actually, the reason was going against what some dictator admin demanded.

How is this NOT an abuse of admin rights? The actions of those admins are likley to turn people away, not draw people to fandom. You must have missed something if you're asking all that. As I said, admins are allowed to block users for any reason, or for no reason, as staff members like to remind people. That means they don't even technically need to have a logical reason to block you. In this case, the admin team seems to have made a declaration that no one gets to post on Christmas day and those who did suffered the consequences. This is nothing out of the ordinary and certainly nothing staff would intervene in. As long as an admin is not explicitly breaking ToU, their decision on blocking someone remains uncontested by staff. Abuse of the admin tool is a really hard thing for users to prove and very rarely if ever has an admin been demoted by staff. Your best bet is to try to gather community members who think the local adminship is in need of demotion and start a community vote for demotion of those admins. It's certainly unlikely to amount to much, but that's your best option at this juncture.
