I have no idea why Dessamator is directing people to Wikia Staff and the contact form for this. They would simply say that it's up to local wiki's to determine what you can use the talkpage for. Like noted previously, people are confusing rules with guidelines. What wiki admins "create" (and sometimes enforce) are guidelines, and none are binding either to other editors or to wikia staff. This is an absolute Wikia rule.

One can do lots of things on one's talk pages anywhere without breaching  any Wikia Rules. In fact, a guideline may be there one day and removed the next. This can happen through a change of leadership of a wiki or simply due to an admins' whims because they aren't required or forced to write any of their guidelines anywhere but are still allowed to ban over anything (except when it comes to a discussion about change of admin / bureaucrat rights).

Message walls and threads are somewhat unique because they allow a user to easily hide any thread. Removal of that capability either through CSS or JS is a breach of the TOU.
