Forum:Confused About Current Block

So I was recently blocked on the American Girl Dolls Wiki, and I was wondering exactly whether or not my block was a bit hypocritical or not. I mean yes I DID apologize to an admin for doing something that I wasn't so sure on doing, but what I don't exactly understand is the new 'rule' that she made after she banned me! Why was this not a rule before?

I can't really ask for answers because I can't even edit my own talk page to straighten things out. She didn't even post on my talk page exactly why I was blocked, and I can't seem to use this template thing I found moments ago:

http://americangirl.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Blocked

I'm not a bad wikier and I've never received any warnings prior to this. Yet for some reason, I got blocked for 6 months! So..........yeah. That's it, I guess.

 * There's not much we can do for you here. Blocks are generally a local matter. I've written up some instructions at my home wiki that should have wide applicability throughout Wikia for people in your situation. Please consult Help:I'm blocked.   22:55: Thu 30 Aug 2012
 * You could try that stuff, but to be perfectly honest, once you're in a situation where you actually need the suggestions in that blog, it's a pretty good indication that the Wikistaff is simply trying to get rid of you. If you do manage to get back in, they just might ban you at the first sign of difficulty. But one thing on there definitely holds true, Wikia will literally tell you that the local admins can ban you for any reason. Been there, done that.Neo Bahamut (talk) 20:17, August 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * What do you mean by 'the local admins can ban you for anything'? And isn't that a bit unfair?

 * Wikia will only take action against the staff of one of the Wikis using it if they have somehow violated the Terms of Use. Doing this by banning someone is essentially impossible, because there is nothing in the terms of use regarding how to treat people who use your Wiki. To be totally fair, this is pretty much how all website providers work. It's just that if you get banned from a forum, you can always go to another forum. If you get banned from a Wiki, say about a TV show, chances are there won't be another good one about that show for you to join. I do not think it's fair, but there's really nothing I can do about it. Like I said, you can certainly try Czechout's advice if you think it's worth it, I just want to give you an idea of your odds.Neo Bahamut (talk) 21:57, August 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * All that can be said about unfair blocks is: Complain at Special:Contact... Wikia isn't fair.
