Well, with GlobalBlocking, we can now block abusive IP addresses across multiple wikis. Blocking their account is still a local act, until a "Block Global Account" extension gets made (I believe someone is working on it, but I could be wrong?)

This thread is about White Cat wanting to get Jack Merridew on simple.wikiquote and simple.wiktionary becuse he feels stalked due that JM always votes contrary to him and sometimes he edits non mainspace pages where Cat also edited.
He went to stewards channel earlier today demanding we take measures about it. After 4 of us refused, he ended up putting on ignore (as usual) pretty much anyone who spoke and started namecalling werdna (who is precisely working on global block) for not agreeing with him.
Global blocking won't be used for petty personal disputes. And for what I gather, it will work only on IPs.
And no, "being blocked on a wiki" doesn't automatically grant the right to request same blocks in all other wikis
