While you definitely have a bit of a point - social media have a notoriously bad track record in that respect - the situation is not quite that simple. Wikia has a policy where local wikis are allowed to run themselves. Wikia does not interfere, does not unblock, does not demote, unless there's a wide range of ToU violations and/or general grief.

To you and your friend, this might be the greatest injustice ever exacted on mankind, but here on Community Central, this is just another day of the week. There's a dime a dozen, and rarely if ever do they sketch the unbiased 100% of the story - because no human can do that, no matter how hard they claim it is. "Admin abuse" is thrown around so casually that it has lost a lot of its meaning.

Wikis can run themselves, and that allows for some people being in charge that shouldn't be in charge. But if they interfere in one minor dispute, they must interfere in EVERY minor dispute, and they essentially have staff run all wikis. Also, they'd be swamped, as we get tons of them here.

It's not the perfect method, but better than any other options. If you have other suggestions how to deal with things like this, send them to Special:Contact/feedback
