The problem of a user dissatisfied with the actions of local administrators is
not uncommon on any wiki. When people dissatisfied with local enforcement of
non-foundation issues complain here they are often properly informed that it is
a local matter and that the each wiki is self-governing. Frankly the autonomy
of the wikis is hardly a choice, if you honestly consider the logistics of it.
