Slowking4 foundation ban
Hi,
Back in 2020 there was an RfC proposing a global ban for Slowking4: Requests for comment/Slowking4. This RfC found no consensus.
You globally banned Slowking4 today. Has there been another RfC? Has something substantially changed since the last RfC? Slowking4 wasn't banned from Wikisource which is where they contributed most.
Also noting I really dislike you blanking talk pages. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 12:44, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Alexis Jazz This is my own opinion, and it's not related to the foundation nor the account: Foundation Global Ban doesn't require community consensus, and actually the discussion was archived by the bot, which means it was moved to the archive page, not deleted.

- I found another RfC, Requests for comment/Global ban for Slowking4 (2). It was closed as "not yet sufficient consensus".
臺灣象象, I know it technically doesn't require that. But in cases where the community has spoken, going against that same community without new facts would not be a good show.

You mean the revision history? That's not moving. WMFOffice blanked the page. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 13:06, 10 February 2026 (UTC)- @Alexis Jazz Sorry, I thought you are talking about the talk page of WMFOffice. For sometimes the proofs could be private, and seems the rfc has been closed for almost two years, maybe there are some new facts for global ban the user. Anyway, you can still ask the foundation to explain the reason for global ban the user. Taiwanese Elephant🐘(talk|contribs) 13:24, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- And maybe it's better to ask the foundation by email, since it usually related to the private proofs. Taiwanese Elephant🐘(talk|contribs) 13:26, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- 臺灣象象, details might be private, but the foundation could (and imho should) give at least some information. If the reason for the ban is new, they could say "Slowking4 was banned for reasons unrelated to those mentioned in the linked RfCs" without revealing anything private. Or they could say "One or more issues raised in the RfC took a significant turn for the worse which required direct action to prevent considerable harm to the community." If there's nothing new, they could say "Yeah we know the community found no consensus. But like, what are they gonna do?" which would come across rather rude, but they should be upfront about whatever happened.
I once mailed them to inquire about a global ban. Been there, done that, gotthe T-shirta 100% boilerplate mail that said "we can't talk about this whatsoever because privacy". — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 13:41, 10 February 2026 (UTC)- For a WMF-legal ban? There are a load of potential good reasons why that may not be possible. JzG (talk) 10:13, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Abd foundation ban
FYI, Abd is apparently deceased. https://www.reddit.com/r/Quraniyoon/comments/1c5b1rd/abd_ulrahman_daniel_lomax_uabdlomax_passed_from/ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1229003111#Abd You probably already knew, I guess. JzG (talk) 10:11, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
