Really its the only way a site like this can be run. That and if you've ever been in so other communities online, I've seen dozens or hundreds of users upset but hurt over something not going their way.

It essentially reduces an admin/staff's time for updates and enjoyment themselves.

I've also seen staff level members inundated with "appeals" to decisions by the "lower level admin" in a community.

It's good to know that the whole "culture" here at wikia prevents that sort of thing.
