Usually when users/IP's remove large content (or blanking an entire page) it's viewed as vandalism as it's harming the article(s) of a wiki. The Vstf will block these users to prevent further damage while the administrators have not yet assessed the situation.

You're completely in your right to remove blocks/or adjust them as an administrator. I understand that this wiki is a roleplay one and possibly the pages may of been removed for a clean slate, but from our perspective of counter-vandalism, blanking pages are typically done with bad intent (especially with new users). So to protect your wiki, and more content from being removed, a temporary block was added to the user. It's better for us to "play it safe" in these situations and block users like this rather than assume an admin will get to it and move on. As applying a block to "stop" the content removal and waiting for an admin is better than letting them to continue to remove content and hope an admin will get to it eventually.

I understand where you're coming from and I hope you aren't too upset over the situation. Our role is simply to prevent damage and the administrators can take over and adjust blocks/revert as needed after.
