I looked again tonight with new eyes. Abuse Filter 1 appears to have been implemented to combat one specific problem user. Who that was or what his edits were is still a mystery. But it seems to be very broad and/or broken; it's picked up long-time users, admins, and appears to have even blocked actions from being done by the official Wikia account. I still can't provide much of a solution, as I can't even come to a conclusion as to what this filter is checking for (the abuse filter pages are honestly poorly designed; all the fields and text lines are cut off by the page, and you can't scroll to view them properly). Again, I don't want to just turn it off, but I will kick Nathan a message on Facebook to see if he has some insight on the filter.
