If there was unlimited ability to block/un-block users by the community....., that'd be a very messy can of worms. That's why the current system (just set up a few weeks back or whatever, AND voted for by pretty much the entire community) allows users (the Community really) to petition the Admin Team to change blocks, and the Admins are then required to re-review that user's block. But then that begs the question, why is it against the rules to vote for unblock if what could be done in place of that is just taking into consideration what everyone says in addition to an answer like A, B, or C? I mean, that's sort of what Wikia Staff do, isn't it?

EDIT: By this I mean, why is there a rule to ban one thing if there's a way accepted by the admins and community to completely bypass it? That "rule" isn't specific for blocks, it actually allows the community to do what ever flies their kite. They can technically bypass anything they want. Which actually kinda scares me...

"Policies are the more strict category of rules. All users must read and comply with the policies listed here. Exceptions can only be made when agreed upon by the administrators or community. "
