While I haven't read the entire quoted thread in detail, the general sense is that you were told repeated times not to use certain terms on the wiki because either they are not actually words in the English language or are not aligned with the style of the show the wiki is about. In the wiki community, the latter should be enough.

However, you then proceed to chase after the former reason. In doing so, you essentially ignored the admin's standard of using an English dictionary to determine which terms are appropriate and which are not. Yes, technically there is no official source of English words. That being said, well known dictionaries such as Marriam-Webster are typically referenced as guides. Such dictionaries do update their lists; words being added based on frequency and duration of use. I don't know what your native language is, but, in English, you cannot simply concatenate two words to make a new one.

It is also worth noting that going to a wiki and replacing an single word or phrase on all the articles can also be considered spam. If not considered spam, it can still be considered a cheap way to cheat the edit counting system and achieve a high rank with minimal work. In both cases, an admin may ban you if you continue to do so after clear requests to stop.

Also, the admins noted that this behavior was a pattern for you over several wikis. Frankly, if I were you, I would be grateful the VSTF hasn't issued a global ban.

Finally, even if you were unjustly banned, posting on this forum will not do much. As with any wiki, the forums are general places to post discussion and are not automatically monitored by admins/Wikia staff. Only Wikia staff can override an admin's ban so you would need to contact them directly about the issue.
