Some pretty ugly names on that list.
What are the common threads running through this list?

Re: List of globally banned users
I'm wondering how many people on this list had poorly diagnosed DSM issues.
Autism is fairly prevalent among wikipediots. How prevalent is it among the globally banned?

Re: List of globally banned users
Some of those people, DSM issues or not (and I have a degree in psychology), are just bad human beings. A handful of pedos, guys like Grawp who make graphic threats of murder and rape.
That said...I'd have to imagine there are quite a few autists there as well. Some of them, no doubt, began with good intentions but got off on the wrong foot and were immediately labeled "not of the body" and, not even understanding the situation to begin with, were unable to do anything to change that perception.
Most global bans (not all, but most) are given to individuals who have earned them, but how many local bans started because someone made a rookie mistake and ended up having their reputation ruined for it...or someone corrected them on something and they weren't sufficiently contrite...

Re: List of globally banned users
Wikipedia is obsessed with these stupid public enemy lists. The one on en-wiki was deleted at MfD some time ago and this one ought to be gone too. It does nothing but agitate those who think they were banned unfairly and provide validation and pleasure for those who get off on getting themselves banned.

Re: List of globally banned users
I find a bunch of them on that list, like Ottava Rima, who just won't shut the fuck up about whatever their particular hobby horse is on that particular day.
They go on and on and on, wearing out the patience of everyone they meet until they end up banned everywhere.
They seem to delight in seeing their names in type and will reply to even the vaguest mention until the other side succumbs to exhaustion.
It's such a common pattern on wikipedia that I struggle to find a different explanation than raw mental illness.

Re: List of globally banned users
Ironically you seem to spend a lot of time criticizing Wikipedia too Vig. :-)
All jokes aside I dont have any mental illnesses or autism, I was banned over Wikipolitics and by the WMF to show the editors what happens when you criticize or dont show the expected fear and submissiveness to the admins.
I do admit that I am very passionate about improving Wikipedia and that I got f'ed over by a bunch of shitheads I wouldn't trust in real life to be deputy dog catcher...but no me tal illnesses.
Of course my case doesn't apply to everyone who has been banned, but it does show a serious defect in the WMFs process.

Re: List of globally banned users
Oh yeah absolutely. I mean I doubt anyone disagrees with adding WayneRay, Dcoetzee or some of the others on there. There are also several that seem to have been added merely to show the T&S section is doing something and I think we all agree that there are some that should be added, like perhaps GRAWP. Having said that, I doubt anyone on here really believes the WMF bans to be anymore effective than the community ones. I have been honest as Abe that I continue to defy my ban and always will and I am quite certain several of the others do as well.Vigilant wrote:If we're being honest with ourselves, there are a bunch of people on that list who really deserve to be banned.

Re: List of globally banned users
I had no idea one could be globally banned “by the community”. It’s a pretty dumb idea. Why should a small subset of users be able to decide what’s good for the “WMF Community” as a whole? This should only be handled by the WMF, even if they do it poorly.

Re: List of globally banned users
Something else to consider...
How many of the names on that list are also banned here?
What level of social skill defect does it take to get the banhammer both on en.wp and its chief critic site?
You've got to be a special kind of asshole to make BOTH lists.

Re: List of globally banned users
I count four, as well as four that are members in good standing. There are others that aren't on the list, like Dysklyver, whose accounts get locked as soon as they are recognized, and probably some that use different names between the two sites.Vigilant wrote:Something else to consider...

Re: List of globally banned users
I have always had good interactions with Dysklyver so that one kinda surprises me but WPO has a lot of users that are also editors on Wikipedia so it makes sense that some of the people would be blocked on both sites. I really don't think comparing the two sites bans really means all that much. I mean we all know why WayneRay was banned and I doubt the mods on WPO would want him interacting here so that makes a lot of sense and the same goes for Dcoetzee and a few others like ktr whose ban reasons are more widely known. Does anyone really think they haven't already created alternate accounts and resumed editing? I sure don't.tarantino wrote:I count four, as well as four that are members in good standing.

Obviously I have a strong opinion about my bullshit ban and I also believe that Russavia's ban was largely political and as a favor to Jimbo due to the Pricasso painting (which was an Epic prank BTW). So the WMF bans aren't infallible either. Most were created based on the whims of James Alexander who thankfully is no longer there
It's all pretty irrelevant anyway because the reality is the WMF bans are completely worthless and don't prevent anything and I have no plans to follow it anymore than I followed my EnWP ban. All the WMF bans really do is prevent people from being able to appeal and in the case of some like mine and Russavia, costs the Wikimedia projects positive edits daily and helps them create a perpetual state of drama for no reason.

Re: List of globally banned users
That's a great question. Doubt we have anywhere near the data needed to answer it, but great question nonetheless. I can think of a handful who most certainly do have criminal records (WayneRay comes to mind) and ones who should whether or not they actually do (Mr. Hanson), but most of their identities IRL aren't known to us.Vigilant wrote:I also wonder how many of the people on this list have law enforcement records.

One of the users on the list is in jail right now. ColonelHenry (T-C-L)/JackTheVicar (T-C-L), who's not on the list, is currently serving an 18 year sentence for hiring a hit man to kill a woman who jilted him.

Re: List of globally banned users
You would think that the WMF would add them to the ban list just as a point of record. Of course he's not likely to edit...but they do have computers in Prison so it's possible. Since he isn't officially banned, there's nothing stopping them from doing so.tarantino wrote:One of the users on the list is in jail right now.

Re: Wikipedia's "SanFranBan" list of globally banned users
One globally banned user, a certain Tobias Conradi (T-C-L), although banned by the community (people who bothered to vote on Meta) rather than the WMF, is merrily editing away on the English Wikipedia, Commons and Wikidata. He's using a variety of IP ranges to practice in things like "Requested_moves/Technical_requests" (linkhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia ... l_requests[/link] here), "Templates for discussion" (linkhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia ... discussion[/link] here), and edit "Wikipedia:List of infoboxes/Geography and place" (linkhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia ... _and_place[/link] here). He was spotted in November 2018, in this archived section of the "Bots Noticeboard", but it appears not to have been followed up on: linkhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia ... eing_a_bot[/link]. This provides more proof that global bans are in reality meaningless.
Also, speaking about ColonelHenry (T-C-L)/JackTheVicar (T-C-L), one of the hoaxes created by the person behind these accounts, Order of the Bull's Blood, appears to be back as The Order of The Bulls Blood (T-H-L). It says "Historians and researchers remain skeptical the secret society really exists" yet in the first sentence says "The Order of the Bull’s Blood is Rutgers University’s oldest and most secret society". It was created by Bpatrick999 (T-C-L), who appears to be promoting a journalist he'd created an article of (which was deleted) in the rest of his edits.

It was really the nicest school I have ever vist in my life, it was on the end of De Westland Gracht in Amsterdam where we where living in that time.

It is exacte how schools and educational institutes in heaven must be, I am still using the same materials and that school must have been the base for the rest of my life! Properly the only school what gave me any benefit in my whole life! Because the rest was rubbish and the hell on earth. You have no idea how often I dreamed that damned school burned down in that time.
But that two nice lady's, our teachers learned us other things too my mother had told me long before except how to clay. What is yours is yours, and what belongs to a other is not yours. Why is that so hard to understand for the wiki movement? Is that so hard to understand that you can't left copyright, just like you can't left speed limits or alcohol limits in the traffic? Or advocate that? Of course you can try to go to court with your Mike Tyson, a super lawyer, to a court room if you have made a accident speeding and drunk and have the illusion you will crumble the other party. ,But I think Bee, vigilant and Ming and the other wikidiots are the only persons in this world who believe you can win such a law case with one uppercut of your super lawyer.

Re: Wikipedia's "SanFranBan" list of globally banned users
I edit whenever I want as well and I would imagine that several of the other WMF banned editors are as well. Setting aside if they are warranted or not (mine certainly isn't) being WMF banned is actually WORSE for the community and the projects than the community bans. There is no hope of it being revoked, the WMF doesn't do anything to actively support the community once they are imposed and in fact, as I have said, it's like the Wiki version of life without parole. No matter what you do, the worst has already been done, so you can sock, vandalize, spam, paid edit, etc. all you want, there's nothing more that can be done. At least with the community bans there is at least the hope of eventually being unbanned. Even if in practice it doesn't happen.Katie wrote:One globally banned user, a certain Tobias Conradi (T-C-L), although banned by the community (people who bothered to vote on Meta) rather than the WMF, is merrily editing away on the English Wikipedia, Commons and Wikidata.

Re: Wikipedia's "SanFranBan" list of globally banned users
While I knew that I provided copious reams of valuable advice to the WMF via my honest critiques here, especially on the engineering side, I had no idea that I am also so highly valued for my skillz in problematic and vexatious user management. I honestly did not expect to be elevated(?) to the ranks of the wikirati through my humble efforts.Giraffe Stapler wrote:And after I had kicked Bart out of my mailbox and Eric him here from sucks, where did he run to? Exacte, to his boss, Vigilant. Why do you think Vigtroll is so keen to "prove" I have a mental defect? And it was so a good ban because someone who didn't like schools have a mental defect? And did he know so much privet details about me? BECAUSE THIS AUTISTIC LUNATIC WAS THE ONE WHO HAVE APPROVED THAT GLOBAL BAN! Without any legal background, nothing. Just a tremendous shitcan like Alexander looking for a wiki job.

He's nuttier than a squirrel turd.

Re: Wikipedia's "SanFranBan" list of globally banned users
And the beat goes on...
If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say it starts with a deficient genetic pool, is exacerbated by indifferent parents, compounded by societal ostracization due to anti-social behavior and culminates with the current illiterate navel gazing and blatant case of Dunning-Kruger manifestation.
You types always look for someone else to blame for your failures in life.
The actual problem stares back at you from your mirror.

Well Ira,
Now that my cover is blown as a WMF insider, do you think we can drop the charade and unblock my en.wp Vigilant account?
Thanks,

P.S. When can I expect my first in a series of ongoing checks from the WMF?

Re: Wikipedia's "SanFranBan" list of globally banned users
Hmm, you're right - I actually made my usual mistake of not noticing the date of the post (Nov. 2015), which may have been before we (or at least I) even knew he existed. I guess he hadn't quite "found his true voice" by that point.Vigilant wrote:He admits it’s him on sucks.

Anyway, sorry about that, but I guess we should probably try to get this thread back on topic, just in case someone other than him is reading it.

Nope, it says on the site that these are irrevocable. Which means once banned you can do whatever you want just about short of death threats because there nothing else they can do.Vigilant wrote:Has anyone ever gotten themselves removed from this list?

Re: Wikipedia's "SanFranBan" list of globally banned users
Maybe our NL pal can drop in and tell the story. Alternatively, maybe we can find somebody on Dutch WP to tell their version of the story, which would apt to have fewer funhouse mirror-style curves and distortions...Vigilant wrote:So, Giraffe Stapler was so noxious that he was given the Internet Death Penalty by the WMF.Kumioko wrote:Nope, it says on the site that these are irrevocable.

Re: Wikipedia's "SanFranBan" list of globally banned users
The WMF completely invalidated the value of their own bannprocess when they started adding people for wikipolitics due to that idiot scumbag James Alexander. In the case of me it was because I was advocating admins follow the rules and because I refused to follow my ban. For Russavia it was a favor to Jimbo for the pricasso painting. Several are on There just as a show that the trust and safety section is doing something but theres no value to them.
The bottomline is the WMF bans should have value and they dont. They dont include people who should be there like GRAWP.

Re: Wikipedia's "SanFranBan" list of globally banned users
Not really, the Trust and Safety section banned a couple nobody's after he left just to show the section still existed but it didn't mean anything. The accounts were largely inactive yet GRAWP, Willie on Wheels, the Dog and Rapper vandal and any number of others are still up to their same old antics. The whole section is still just as much of a waste of money as they ever were, they just lost their star shithead.Poetlister wrote:Have things improved since Mr Alexander left?
