User blog comment:Ducksoup/Why We Don't Unblock You/@comment-1764483-20150917193829/@comment-1764483-20150919010831

Yes, I read both. In fact, I feel like this blog was made in response to this thread.

Wikia seems to be worse than Reddit in their indifference towards the actual community. Wikis are literally what they are, but portable infoboxes seem more important.

"Admins can block for whatever reason they see fit, including no reason (as long as it isn't a Terms of Use violation)." Less work for staff, VSTF and the helpers. I found it interesting that there is no condemnation of this practice whatsover in the entire response.

"You can ask the admin on their wall here at Community Central to reconsider - but that's your only shot at leniency. So shoot wisely. Avoid confrontational and accusatory language - that's not going to win the admin over." A shoddy way to say "butter up to him". Why should I bootlick a person whom I don't know and who I didn't know that existed. Lose your integrity because it's not important to Wikia? Well, it is to me. "Win him over?" Isn't it a wiki-specialty that users with rights are trusted to use them and not to be superior over others? He not only insulted the user in question with this response, but he belittled himself as well with this tone.

"Probably your best (least worst) chance is steering it in the direction of a misunderstanding. If he won't budge, you've got to wait out your block. Make sure you reread the policies, and the page's history; perhaps this particular edit was reverted in the past." Oh, it's his fault after all. Even if such things aren't in the manual of style (that doesn't exist on that wiki, it seems, or any policy), power abuse is still obvious. He blocked another user before the user in question as well.

I get that that's a generic reply, but come on. Such an effort would be meaningless as Wikia wouldn't react unless a death threat was involved.
