Personally, I wouldn't do that. Even if a user has gone out of their way to break a dozen rules just once, I still give a warning for each new issue, because I would not want to be considered to be "abusing my power".

But as Tupka217 mentioned, there is no Wikia-wide requirement for warnings at all. Wikia gives admins their powers without any guidelines such as "warnings" or "fairness".

Individual wikis may choose to enact policies that require admins to warn users, or to be fair to users, but that is up to the individual communities, and many do not do so, leaving them no recourse when this type of thing happens.

So, what does this mean for you?
 * Use Community Central to contact that admin, or another admin from that wiki, and ask them if there are guidelines on Whatever-Wiki regarding admin conduct such as warnings and blocks.
 * If there is, perhaps you can appeal the block on the basis that you were not warned for it. However, on many wikis, admins form cabals, and will back each other up when one does something wrong, instead of admitting fault. (The same is true for Wikia Staff.)
 * If there isn't, you're out of luck. If you complain to Wikia Staff, they will likely recite their favourite phrase: "move on", which at some point they should just adopt as the official slogan, as in: "Wikia. Move On!"
