Hi,

The rule was also introduced so that the wikia being adopted didn't end up with an admin who wasn't likely to be able to work well with others, and behave well with the tools. If someone has been banned a lot, that can be an indication that there is a problem that means we should be cautious (I don't know the exact number, but /much less than 99% of users are blocked.)

That said, we do look at each case carefully, and if there seems to be a good explantion for the block, then that can be taken into account. For example, we've seen people being blocked on a wikia, and then creating a new wiki just so they can block all the admins from the first one. In that case, we wouldn't let that stop those admins from adopting.

But we want the best adopters possible, so if it seems that there might be a problem shown by someone's current blocks, we have to say "no".
