It seems to me that blocked users can't even appeal to WP:RFAR when they can't even use their own user pages at an admin's discretion (or abuse of authority).

if their user talk page is blocked for abuse there... there is OTRS, this email list, unblock-en, mailing arbcom directly, etc., the only way isn't via on-wiki.
