Your block summary does state that you were mass reporting someone's replies (which is abuse of the report button). If you were using other accounts to do the same on the wiki, the block on your other accounts are legit.
You can appeal the block on their wall here on Community Central if you think the block is unfair.

As what Noon said, you can't advertise your wiki's Discord server here in Discussions. The closest for advertising it on Community Central is through the Communities on Discord page, just make sure your wiki is in the correct vertical.
It's not due to your VPN, a lot of users (including myself) have gotten this error recently. If you keep getting the error message, please contact Fandom Staff for reporting any issues.

As what Azure said, you can include the author/creator's name in the URL to seperate the two wikis since they are two different topics.
An example of this is the Overlord Wiki, where two of them exist. One is about a game and one is about a Japanese light novel.
https://overlord.fandom.com/wiki/Overlord_Wiki
https://overlordmaruyama.fandom.com/wiki/Overlord_Wiki
If the closed wiki says not a valid community when visiting it, then it can't be re-opened as it been closed for over 6 months as what you mentioned.
Since it still say closed wiki when visiting the wiki, then there's still a chance for it to be re-opened.
I'm not a part of Fandom Staff, so I'm not able to do anything about your ticket.
Since your wiki is about the same topic as the older fanon wiki, it's better to have a redirect to the wiki imo. You might want to send a ticket to Fandom Staff if you want to dicuss the redirect of your wiki through the link above.
Also, PuyoRainbow isn't able to merge or close wikis as she isn't in any global user group.
The wiki you've created was a duplicate of an existing wiki (which is not allowed), and Fandom Staff decided to redirect the duplicate one to the older wiki.
If you believe it's an error, you might want to contact Fandom Staff to dicsuss the decision why they redirected the wiki.

They can contact Fandom Staff to appeal a global block. Please note that you can't appeal for them, and they have to appeal themselves.
Global blocks are not unfair, the reason why they have been globally blocked is because they've broken Fandom's ToU. Some reasons for that might include vandalism, spam or harassment.
As what Fraudulent Businessman said, there's no limit on that. However, you shouldn't hoard wikis, as what mentioned in the Admin Code of Conduct.
A contributor is someone who has edited on the wiki. And as for the top contributors, it's the users who has edited on a wiki the most during the week.
No, since it gives you an option to disable them in the Admin Dashboard it's not against the ToU to do so. If it were, then it wouldn't be an option for the admins to do so.
It only allows you to disable article comments, message walls and blogs for your wiki. article comments and message walls will be replaced by talk pages for pages and user messaging. It doesn't prevent users from editing the wiki.
You aren't blocked on Community Central, otherwise you wouldn't be able to make this post.
But if you aren't able to post certain things here, it's likely you've hit a Discussions Abuse Filter.
If a user is revealed to be under 13 (or 16 in some countries), they will have their account disabled. Sockpuppets to avoid the rule will also be disabled if they admit being a sock.
As for the "important member" part, the Wiki Rules and Blocking Policy does states the following:
Do not play favorites. All editors should be given the opportunity to learn and grow in the community.Since it's an abusive blocking summary (as it's using profanity as well), which is considered as harassment. You can report it to Fandom Staff.

Edit: Looking at the block log on the wiki, it seems that the admins have been doing it towards multiple users.
The block on the Forsaken Wiki was only 30 minutes (it was done by the Abuse filter which the local admins set up), so it has expired for now.
As for the block on the Block Tales Wiki, you were blocked for vandalism which expires in 1 week. If you feel like the block is unfair, you can try to appeal it on their message wall here on Community Central. Remember to keep it civil and don't harass the admin.
But if they choose not to reduce or remove your block, you'll have to wait for it to expire.
Your messages were deleted by the CC admin. Please be patient (as you've only made the post 1 hour ago), CC's Discussions is not a live chat.
As for editing the welcome thing, you need to edit the MediaWiki:Sitenotice page on your wiki.
As per the Forking Policy:
Editors and admins are custodians of community projects for their wiki’s subject for as long as they’re active on Fandom, and so we do not close wikis when a group decides to edit elsewhere. The Fandom wiki will remain open to provide a dedicated on-Fandom reference resource for the topic.So no, the Fandom wiki will not be closed if the community decides to fork to another site.
