'''Account disabling''' is a feature used by global-based [[wiki farm]]s such as {{tag|Wikia}} for people who wish to quit and never return. If the [[user]] decides to return to the farm after disabling their account they will have to make a new account.

Disabling is often confused with [[global blocking]] when they are in fact entirely different; disabling is done by user choice, global blocking is done by force. On [[Wikia]], however, [[Wikia Staff|Staff]] will sometimes disable an account if the user is meant to be globally blocked forever.

Disabling also happens on Wikia if a user is underage or for major [[sockpuppetry]].
