Global locks/it

Blocchi globali Global locks are technical measures employed against user accounts to prevent them from logging in.

Un global lock è una misura tecnica che steward e global sysops possono usare per impedire ad un account di accedere a qualsiasi wiki su Miraheze, disabilitando così completamente l'accesso all'account. Quando un account è bloccato, tutti i tentativi di accedere ad esso falliranno. Di solito viene applicato agli account di solo vandalismo, agli account di solo spam, agli account compromessi, o agli account altamente distruttivi che hanno abusato di più wiki. Un account che è stato bloccato globalmente può anche essere configurato per avere il suo nome utente nascosto in tutti i log; questo è usato per nomi di disturbo o inappropriati.

Unlike a local block where users are prevented from editing a particular wiki and may have limited access (including editing their talk page or emailing users if local administrators allow them to), global locks log users out of their account and prevent them from being able to log in. Global locks are usually applied to vandalism-only accounts, spam-only accounts, compromised accounts, or highly disruptive accounts that have been spotted abusing multiple wikis. Accounts that have been globally locked can also be configured to have their usernames hidden on all logs; this is used for disruptive or inappropriate names. Additional uses include Trust and Safety actions (which may include anonymizing/hiding a username), global ban enforcement and self-requested locks.

To request a global lock, please use the Stewards' noticeboard. All evidence that entails a lock should be provided. In cases of cross-wiki vandalism, spam or other disruptions, you can also report it on the Counter Vandalism Team IRC or Discord channel to have either a Global Sysop or Steward lock the account. If you are reporting an underage user, do not do this - instead, report including all evidence directly to tsmiraheze.org.

To appeal a global lock, please email stewardsmiraheze.org. Please make sure to include any relevant information in your appeal, including the account being appealed, any other accounts they should know about, and reasoning for the lock to be lifted.
