1. feel free to bring up a discussion at Meta, that local sysops should be able to block globally, 2. You did went to the link but then opened a request in the wrong section for something completely different. My link pointed to Request for global (un)lock and (un)hidinghttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Global#Request_for_global_.28un.29lock_and_.28un.29hiding 3. if You wish to global lock accounts atm, there is no other way to do this than to request stewards rights, or propose a new user group that can lock global accounts, but that has to be discussed at Meta first too,
thanks, E.

*Sigh*! There is no lack of comprehension, You applied for global rollback, that is something different.
I just went to the link I was advised. It makes no sense that an Admin on one wiki should not be able to globally block an obviously offensive or disruptive user, wherever it arises. That's just counterproductive to have to jump through so many obscure hoops. It doesn't take much: Username -> right click menu -> apply for global blocking. End of.
