To address the question more directly:
 * There is no defined standard on how to run a wiki outside of not violating the ToU.
 * FANDOM staff rarely get involved, but a concerted barrage of polite and rational communications from the wiki community is more likely to get them to act.
 * Although I don't know the real reason why FANDOM doesn't like to get involved, my speculation is this:
 * More involvement likely would require more staff which means hiring more people and therefore costing FANDOM more money. FANDOM is a business.
 * Their may be a survival-of-the-fittest idea at work where the theory is that wikis run by A-holes are less likely to grow and flourish.
 * Personally, I think this is a bad rationale, since A-holes can still design nice looking wikis that attract many users of a topic with a big fan base. I've seen many wikis that fit this pattern.
