Forum:Unable to edit talk pages must be gone

Blocking talk pages is never fair. Yet Thomasfan does so. I think the option should be removed. Percyfan75 03:05, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * If talk pages being allowed to be blocked was removed, then all pages being allowed to be blocked would be removed. What talk page exactly do you want unblocked? VSTF (volunteer spam task force) or Special:Contact would be your best bet, or ask a local admin (if there are any). Iggyvolz 03:16, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * User talk pages. If they're blocked, then the perso nthat's blocked can't convince the admin to unblock them. Percyfan75 03:19, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * You know, you can always email the admin,-- Sparty  Contributions 03:21, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * But what if the admin was around before wikia started requesting emails while registering? Percyfan75 03:24, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * On what wiki? I'm checking all of Thomasfan's wikis. Iggyvolz 03:25, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Every wiki he owns. Every time he blocked a user, he never alowed them to edit their talk page when they were blocked. Percyfan75 03:26, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem right to block talk page use for every block.-- Sparty  Contributions 03:28, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, you're right. That's why the option must be removed and all users allowed to edit their own talk pages. Percyfan75 03:29, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Percyfan, I'm afraid you need to stop complaining about Thomasfan across Central – it's unproductive for you and is disruptive for others. There is nothing substantial we can do you for you here; it's best if you contact staff. Thanks, The 888th Avatar   (talk)  03:31, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

I will not stop complaining. The option should be removed, and that is final! Percyfan75 03:31, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's necessary sometimes, so it shouldn't be removed.-- Sparty  Contributions 03:33, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's never necessary. Plus, I recently learned that Aniju Aura once did it to Skipper101 too:
 * http://mkatsfanon.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3ASkipper101
 * His block has ended, but if he's permanently blocked next time, he won't be able to apologize on the talk page. Percyfan75 03:37, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * If there was never an option to block talk pages, then people could do whatever they wanted on them... even if they were blocked. I understand that a blocked user should not immediately have their talk page blocked, except in the case where both sides agree it's vandalism (one IP cleared my talk page with the summary "I don't want anyone to know about this game"), however the option must exist. Otherwise all we could do is wait for them to make an edit and revert it saying "Please don't add spam" then they make an edit and we say "Please don't add spam" and the cycle goes on and on... Besides, the option would have to come from the MediaWiki software itself, which would affect Wikipedia and other wikis who might not want this option deleted and it would still take months to write and deploy the script...

 * In that case, it can be allowed, but if they fail to convince the admins to unblock them six times, then THAT is the ONLY tiem that talk pages can be blocked. Percyfan75 03:46, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

* sigh* It's a necessity at times. If somebody is spamming or flaming and could still post on their talk page, they'd abuse it. Fact. Cat 04:11, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

But didn't you see my suggestion? Percyfan75 04:12, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Speaking as an admin and somebody who's helped several other admins, generally, you know if they're just plain trolls/spammers/flamers/other irreconcirables before the sixth attempt. Of course, some admins are just power-abusing. Sorry if that's the case. Cat 05:09, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

It is up to the administrator to determine whether the user can edit his/her own talk page. If it seems reasonably unfair that a user is not allowed to edit their own talk page, then that is circumstantial, and should be taken up with the admin himself. Shotrocket6 14:14, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
