:There are rare instances when editor requests that someone not post on their talk page anymore (i.e. user talk page ban) helps prevent antagonizing and harassment that's brewing under the action threshold for sanctions, but it can also be used by folks wanting to ignore legitimate discussion of their own behavior issues. I have mixed feelings on that all too, but I just wanted to point out the guideline just in case. [[User:Kingofaces43|Kingofaces43]] ([[User talk:Kingofaces43#top|talk]]) 17:39, 10 July 2016 (UTC) |

Revision as of 04:25, 27 July 2016
I'm sometimes online sporadically, although typically at least once a day unless it's around the weekend. I'll usually respond pretty quickly to any questions, but real life takes priority, so I may not always be the quickest to respond. Thanks for your patience if I'm offline for a bit.

NOBAN
Replying here, as that thread is long enough already and I'm hopeful it's winding up. You're right that WP:NOBAN doesn't give a user absolute discretion on their talk page. Practically speaking, however, there's little sense in posting to someone's talk page when that person has asked you not to. It's a long-recognized principle that a user can archive (or not archive) their talk page in whatever manner they see fit, and there's little practical difference between "banning" someone from your talk page and aggressively "archiving" anything they might say.
I don't care for the practice. I think it strikes against the spirit of this project and I admit I look askance at the people who do it. Even when I was on the Arbitration Committee and figuratively getting pelted with crap on a day-to-day basis I never found cause to do so (not that I can remember, anyway). I might suggest that certain discussion threads had outlived any practical purpose and that conversation should move elsewhere but even people whom I rather disliked were welcome to come have their say. Whether I replied or not was another matter.
On to the main idea, I don't think it's helpful to contest this particular issue during this discussion. People have strong feelings about user talk pages (for whatever reason) and reasonable people disagree on the scope of NOBAN. It's a side issue and shouldn't distract from the central question of the appropriateness of BMK's engagement in the article space.
Thank you for the reply all the same, and apologies for rambling on your talk page. Mackensen (talk) 17:23, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- No worries. I just wasn't sure if you had read that particular section or not is all. I'm not really commenting on that incident otherwise since it looks like it's wrapping up, and I got too much on my plate to really deep dive into anything ANI related.
- There are rare instances when editor requests that someone not post on their talk page anymore (i.e. user talk page ban) helps prevent antagonizing and harassment that's brewing under the action threshold for sanctions, but it can also be used by folks wanting to ignore legitimate discussion of their own behavior issues. I have mixed feelings on that all too, but I just wanted to point out the guideline just in case. Kingofaces43 (talk) 17:39, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
