Staff generally doesn't interfere with blocks. Admins can block at their discretion, and don't have to reply to questions about them. Not a fun answer, but that's how it is. Staff only interferes if there's a Terms of Use violation. Look through Sannse's blog list, there are several on the topic of blocking. If you really want staff to look at it, use Special:Contact/general, but chances are this will not lead to a change in the block.

As for adoption, the nature of the block is always considered, and it may be ignored.
