Wikia has to take a stance which covers the entirety of Wikia, meaning ALL the Wikis. Some things they leave to each local wiki to deal with, providing the local admins the tools with which to do it.

You can think of Wikia as a thermostat in a home: one setting to affect the entire place and everyone in it. Individuals have to make personal adjustments as needed for themselves by shedding or putting on layers of clothing and blankets.

Another analogy is Wikia is like the United Nations while each wiki is a country. Each country has its own policies and laws which the UN cannot, will not, simply sweep in and override.


 * Take this from an administrator of a few wikis:
 * You have all the tools you need to deal with it.
 * Deal with it.
