Yeah, Ransom, but the difficulty is that it's the same message regardless of the reason, isn't it? Whether it's a global block for a few days or an account that's been shut down by the user, it's the same message from Wikia, isn't it?

Also, we've had at least one case of someone shutting down their account prior to Wikia almost certainly suspending the account for cause. So yes, they technically chose to leave, but they were an inch away from getting kicked out. We've also had several cases of people who left behind a name because of offences they'd committed on other wikis.

So, yeah, I'm sure that most cases of a global suspension are done at the request of the user, and that therefore the user doesn't pose any real problem for our wiki. But because we can't really see the reason for the Wikia block, is there a serious downside to erring on the side of caution?
