User blog:GenLawrence/Referring to Global Bans

For those of you who have tried to unban people who have been globally blocked by wikia, here's some insight.

If a person is globally banned by wikia staff, then the administrative team on this wiki can not unban the offender even if everyone on the wiki votes on allowing said person back. We would be endangering the wiki if we do so. Not from the offender, but from having users being banned by wikia staff for violating the ToU (Terms of Use). Remember when you made an account, and you checked the "I agree" box? That was the terms of use you agreed to. Violating it isn't an administrative problem, but rather a wikia staff problem, and they will not think twice for banning a person or deleting a wiki.

Just wanted to put this out to clarify it.
