For example checkuser info on indef blocked user should be shared among checkusers. If user 'A' is banned on wiki 'X' and then decides to register the account 'B' on the wiki 'Y' the local community should be prepared for it.
I have no use for this kind of infectious paranoia.
This is our reality. I already have one example: a person with the account A was on tr and az wps. They were banned at tr some time ago, then, after some time at az wp, while having the account B at tr.wp. With somewhat more effective CU organization, account B would be banned at tr.wp at the time when the account A was banned at az.wp. However, account B was in the process of getting admin permissions at tr.wp. And the process of blocking it was very painful for tr.wp community. Instead of having a regular method for dealing with such kind of problems, they needed deux ex machina, some steward who will do one IAR for them.
