User:Matttest/Global ban policy

The purpose of a global ban is to prevent harm to miraheze when a problem cannot be addressed by the community through less restrictive means, and consequently is usually permanent. A global ban is not a form of punishment, nor is it meant to provide a “cool down” period. This policy addresses the criteria and procedures of a global community ban, and how to appeal and overturn the decision.

Criteria for global bans
Global bans are only considered when all the following criteria are met: Merely meeting the above minimum criteria does not mean that a global ban is required. Below are some past reasons for a global ban:
 * 1) The user has persistently engaged in severe cross-wiki abuse, and warnings are unfollowed.
 * 2) The user is indefinitely blocked or banned or banned on more than 3 miraheze wikis, and those blocks are made because of the user’s disruptive behaviors. Blocks on users who have no edits are not counted.
 * 3) The user has breached at least one of the miraheze global policies.
 * 4) Remediation attempt is done and the communication is ineffective.
 * Harassing or threatening contributors to the projects, on- or off-wiki;
 * Impersonating other users that is not only simple abuse of multiple accounts.
