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:

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
