I've gone to Wikia a few times myself, and each time the response was the same "We let the Wikia in question handle itself." Yes, they normally say that. However, they have every right to intervene, because it's their wikifarm and the content is hosted on servers under their control. There was a case where an admin on another wiki was abusing his rights and blocking people for having a "voice of dissent": because of this abuse, Wikia intervened and removed that sysop without even getting consensus.

While Wikia does leave communities to themselves, the fact is that they are there. And they've every right to intervene and supercede local decisions if it puts their service in jeopardy.
