• Accounts that have violated other principles which are grounds for indefinite blocks on multiple individual wikis, such as making repeated legal threats, publishing child pornography, or posting private personal information about others which may endanger them.
• Accounts that are suspected to have been compromised, as a temporary measure to maintain account security until the owner is contacted.
• Accounts that have been globally banned (community or Foundation).
