It reflects a broad and clear community consensus. A global ban is not a form of punishment, nor is it meant to provide a “<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wikt:cool_down" class="extiw" title="en:wikt:cool down">cool down</a>” period. A global ban's purpose is to prevent harm to Wikimedia projects when a problem cannot be addressed by the community through less restrictive means, and consequently is usually permanent. </p><p>Global bans are <i>exclusively</i> applied where multiple independent communities have previously elected to ban a user for a pattern of abuse. Wikimedia projects are entirely self-governing. Typically, <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Assume_good_faith" title="Special:MyLanguage/Assume good faith">good faith is assumed</a> when a user chooses to become a member of a new community, regardless of their history on other projects. Consequently, global bans are not a possibility where a user is only temporarily <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Blocked_user" title="Special:MyLanguage/Blocked user">blocked</a>, or only banned on a single project. Please remember, global bans are intentionally very infrequent. </p><p>Global bans should not be confused with <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Global_blocks" title="Special:MyLanguage/Global blocks">global blocking</a>, a technical mechanism to prevent IP addresses or ranges of them (i.e. <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Unregistered_user" title="Special:MyLanguage/Unregistered user">unregistered users</a>) from editing any Wikimedia project, except for <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Meta:About" title="Special:MyLanguage/Meta:About">Meta-Wiki</a>. This policy covers only community-issued global bans. The Wikimedia Foundation also has the right to unilaterally globally ban anyone, and those global bans are covered by the <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/WMF_Global_Ban_Policy" title="Special:MyLanguage/WMF Global Ban Policy">WMF Global Ban Policy</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <p><ins id="criteria-for-global-bans"></ins> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Criteria_for_global_bans" data-mw-thread-id="h-Criteria_for_global_bans"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Criteria_for_global_bans"></span>Criteria for global bans<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Criteria_for_global_bans"></span></h2></div> <p>Global bans are only considered when all the following criteria are met: </p> <ol><li><b>The user demonstrates an ongoing pattern of cross-wiki abuse that is not merely vandalism or spam.</b> No global <i>ban</i> is required for uncontroversial cases of cross-wiki vandalism or spam, since these may be handled with a <i>block</i> or <i>lock</i> (which may be made by a steward, without need for extensive discussion). See <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Steward_requests/Global" title="Special:MyLanguage/Steward requests/Global">Steward requests/Global</a>.</li> <li><b>The user has been carefully informed about appropriate participation in the projects and has had fair opportunity to rectify any problems.</b> These projects must have demonstrated a good faith attempt to explain acceptable practices and behaviors that are consistent with their mission and scope. This criterion is to show users reasonably know what is expected, have had ample opportunity to appropriately address concerns, and chose not to participate appropriately in projects.</li> <li><b>The user is indefinitely blocked or banned on two or more projects.</b> These blocks or bans must be based on the user's local disruptive behavior, and do not include protective blocks such as preemptive blocks on user without local edits, and blocks based on account security issue or problematic username.</li></ol> <p>Merely meeting the above minimum criteria <i>does not</i> mean that a global ban is required. Past reasons for requesting a global ban have included: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Harassment_policies" title="Special:MyLanguage/Harassment policies">Harassing</a> or threatening contributors to the projects, on- or off-wiki.</li> <li>Serious on-wiki fraud or identity theft that is not simple abuse of multiple accounts.</li> <li>Inappropriate use of user rights with access to private information, such as <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser_policy" title="Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy">CheckUser</a> or <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Oversight_policy" title="Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy">Oversight</a>.</li> <li>Violations of the <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Privacy_policy" title="Special:MyLanguage/Privacy policy">privacy policy</a> or other official <a href="https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policies" class="extiw" title="wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Policies">Wikimedia policies</a>.</li> <li>Persistent cross-wiki copyright violation.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Relation_to_local_policy" data-mw-thread-id="h-Relation_to_local_policy-Criteria_for_global_bans"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Relation_to_local_policy-Criteria_for_global_bans"></span>Relation to local policy<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Relation_to_local_policy-Criteria_for_global_bans"></span></h3></div> <p>This policy is meant to complement existing policies and procedures for all projects, not act as a replacement.

A global ban request must only be accepted when a user presents a clear and current danger to all Wikimedia communities, a decision is backed by a broad and clear consensus that fairly represents the vast majority of Wikimedia projects, and careful consideration of concerns and possible consequences are evident in the decision. In order to initiate a discussion on whether harm to all communities is evident and merits a global ban, please do the following: </p> <ol><li><b>Confirm that the user satisfies all <a href="#criteria-for-global-bans">criteria for global bans</a></b> prior to opening a request for comment.</li> <li><b>File a new <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/requests_for_comment" title="Special:MyLanguage/requests for comment">request for comment</a> on Meta.</b> The title should have the username of the user nominated for a global ban. The nominator must impartially document the significant incidences that satisfy all <a href="#criteria-for-global-bans">criteria for global bans</a>. The nominator must also attempt to show that the user's decision not to participate appropriately presents a current danger to all Wikimedia communities.</li> <li><b>Inform the user about the discussion on all wikis where they are active.</b> If the user nominated for a global ban is blocked on Meta, a temporary unblock may be considered to allow participation in the discussion.</li> <li><b>Inform the community on all wikis where the user has edited</b> about the discussion through a prominent public venue. Be sure to stay neutral in your communications and avoid any defamatory, inaccurate, or exaggerated commentary.</li></ol> <p>A nomination that fails to correctly follow the above steps is invalid, and may be speedily closed. In addition, to make a nomination valid, the nominator must: </p> <ol><li>have a Wikimedia account; and</li> <li>be registered for more than six months before making the request; and</li> <li>have at least 500 edits globally (on all Wikimedia wikis).</li></ol> <p>Once a valid request for comment has developed a broad and clear consensus, an uninvolved and impartial steward may close the discussion. Discussion should be open for at least two weeks, but no more than one month. Stewards may extend the discussion in exceptional circumstances. Requests can be closed without extensive discussion when frivolous. Requests can be closed after an extensive discussion when no consensus is likely to be reached. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Multilingualism_in_discussion" data-mw-thread-id="h-Multilingualism_in_discussion-Obtaining_consensus_for_a_global_ban"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Multilingualism_in_discussion-Obtaining_consensus_for_a_global_ban"></span>Multilingualism in discussion<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Multilingualism_in_discussion-Obtaining_consensus_for_a_global_ban"></span></h3></div> <p>Please be aware that the discussion can and should be conducted in the relevant language or languages of any projects where the user has been active.
