What does it take for a global ban?
Do you remember "Poetlister"? Aka Cato, aka Runcorn, aka Quillercouch, aka British Civil servant with various anti-social problems. Multiple sockpuppeting, manipulation, lies, harassment, identity theft, acquiring checkuser and crat status on various projects. Banned from en.wp, banned from commons, banned even from wikisource. The same user is now opening editing on Wikiversity: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Poetlister I'm genuinely shocked. I know projects value their independence, but really? Can this user simply wander round projects wreaking havoc? It seems that the only person evil enough to get globally banned is Greg Kohs - and as annoying as he is, he does not reach this level of fuckedup.
