Admins and mods are generally promoted for the sake of the wiki - not necessarily to make the wiki a playground for users, without any rules or hierarchy. Wikis are usually a place of information, and there are several things that are usually very frowned upon, like swearing, reviving old posts or issues, creating inconsistencies, posting very unrelated things, or trolling. If your first edits on a wiki are one of those, there are several wikis that will block you indefinitely, and other wikis will keep their eyes on you like a hawk. Don't be surprised if you continue afterwards and you get a very direct warning from an admin or a mod; if your first impression is bad, you will be seen in a negative light in the near future. It's also a very bad sign if you try to go around them, saying things like "since they are not watching" or "they don't have authority here", it just means you are trying to undermine active administration. You're almost always free to give constructive opinions, but going on a witch-hunt (in public!) not just to voice your concerns, but to undermine active administration of a wiki, is not constructive at all.
