In the event that an obvious harasser is abusing someone across multiple wikis, it may be necessary to take global action. It is possible to globally lock accounts, though only Stewards have this ability. They can also globally block the underlying IP address to prevent the creation of alternate accounts (known as "sockpuppets") or "sleeper" accounts.
