but please take a look at those 2 links & why I was banned and tell me if they fit (the comments equaling why i was banned). I told the admin "as disturbing as it sound, there is no rule against me viewing the wiki everyday at midnight.". if they get disturbed by it (even though the rules say no disturbing comments, if thats all I do then i found a loophold. Actually, as Tupka said, there is no rules saying that admins cannot make that rule. Here's a few rules I've come across on some random wiki's in my years.

1. Nobody is allowed to post comments on redirect pages or you will be banned for a year.

2. Nobody is allowed to out of character

3. Nobody is allowed to post on the wiki when an admin is not present on chat.

4. If you wish to post, you must post after gaining admin permission.

As Tupka said, it is stated that admins are allowed to ban for any reason, or no reason, and how long the ban is is entirely up to their jurisdiction.

So, while, like I said before, I don't see anything intimidating in the links you give, the admins are still allowed to ban for whatever reason they see fit.
