Thanks for your information but it doesn't sound an "interwiki" thing at all. It sounds rather trwiki internal issue and that's all.
And I would add using stewards as deus ex machina to judge community issues is a horrible idea, at least for me. Trwiki, in this case, would be better to settle their own arbcom; again it doesn't look like "interwiki" things.
I want to remember that this thread started because White Cat wanted Jack Merridew blocked *by stewards* in projects where he edited and without obvious (according to several of us who looked) disruption
In his words:
Consider the scenario where a disruptive user is indefinitely blocked on a particular wiki. He decides to have a "fresh start" in causing the same slow-paced disruption on all sister projects one by one...
Yes, someone else pointed that trouble users will eventually prove themselves and get blocked, that's true, nothing new is needed.
Now what is being proposed is a board to track "trouble users" who are not obvious vandals (like those who checkusers track crosswiki), and block them so they can't "escape to Mexico to commit more murders" but just "controversial users". It sounds a bit to me like stalking
