A mix of WikiBreak and Banning is the [[SuicideBySysop]]. If one has inherently decided to leave but somehow knows that one would not have the strength to stay away, one enforces ones own decision by allowing oneself to collide with one or more restrictive or overworked [[Sysop]] to ensure one gets banned. By that way one might draw a good amount of attention, disrupt the work of the wiki, may get a feeling of revenge and eventually regret after one succeeded. From the outside SuicideBySysop is indiscernible from getting banned.
