Fedual Fairy Tale, there aren't a lot of cases when we jump in, although very occasionally we might ask the admin to reconsider if there are special circumstances (which doesn't generally include blocks for bad or no reason).

Blocks that are definitely outside the Terms of USe are blocks based on race, sexuality, religion etc. You cannot do a Trump and exclude all Muslims! This includes wikis based on religions, for example one that is written from a Christian point of view.

On that wiki you would be allowed to insist everything is written with that Christian point of view, but you would't be able to exclude someone of another religion who was keeping to that rule, just because of their own religion. Does that make sense? It's a bit of a subtle distinction.

It would also be a problem if you banned as a method of harassment. For example if you kept banning and doing other actions in order to keep giving unnecessary/false notifications to someone you are in a dispute with.

If you read the User Conduct part of the ToU and the Wikia Community Guidelines, you should see the other actions that are likely to make staff intervene.

Sorry for jumping on your thread with this 14matthi, I felt it was an important question. I see Maurice and Ripto have replied to your original question, thanks both.
