Is there anything wrong with adopting a standard like 'if it would get you banned on Wikipedia, it gets you banned here'?

Wikipedia has a lot of policies we wouldn't like. Neutral point of view would be the most obvious of them.
I noticed this recent Wiki edit:
http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/User:AllisonGibbons
which says:
This user is currently blocked. The latest block log entry is provided below for reference:

Odds are, it's a spambot. But who can block a user, who decides who can block a user, what are users blocked for, and what recourse does a blocked user have?
