It's worth noting here that there is something of a disagreement about the import of the Terms of Use; Steve Walling and Ryan Kaldari have argued that the ToU require that the Wikimedia community devise a policy permitting and describing a process for instituting global bans. In fact, the ToU makes global bans optional; it assumes only the presence of a global ban policy (which might be "we don't do global bans").
Right now, the RfC is trending towards dispensing with the current global ban policy. A large portion of that sentiment is from people opposed to global bans in general. Of course the option "we don't want global bans" wasn't included; if it had been, I suspect that's where most of the support would be. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
