This actually sounds like a good idea. Keeps Willy on Wheels from becoming Guillermo en Carro.

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.
