Apologies if this has already been proposed - I haven't read all the thread - but
what would be really helpful is a noticeboard on meta for admins and trusted users from
all projects to confer about users whose disruptive activities span multiple projects.
Such a thing may exist already, but if so it doesn't seem to have been very widely
publicised.

Quite the contrary. While I'm not a great supporter of global blocking
in the first place, it is clear that Brian understands the problems.
Your excess of enthusiasm for the proposal suggests that with friends
like you the proposal needs no enemies
The local community should decide weather or not
to give a second chance to
the disruptive user. Such a decision should not be made bu the disruptive
user.
We are not talking about "second" chances but first chances. Assuming
good faith includes treating a project newbie on the basis of what he
does in a project, not on the basis of his being on somebody's prejudice
list. As Birgitte has stated, Wikisource regulars are quite capable of
recognizing a disruptive users when they come along. I assure you that
those who seek to impose their personal POVs about the rules or import
some other project's robotic solutions are far more disruptive than
vandals, spammers and trolls.
When a disruptive user blocked on some other wiki
starts editing another
wiki. Consider a user indef banned from en.wikiquote starts to edit
en.wikisource... The local community should know exactly who they are
dealing with.
-- White Cat
The local community knows exactly what he is doing by reading his posts
in that community's project. If Wikiquote found some reason to ban the
user there, that is entirely their business.
