Well, here's the story. About 3 days ago, I blocked an anonymous user for 3 days, because he was adding non-English content to pages in an English wiki, even after I left him warnings.

The one thing that made me curious is: The user never replied to my messages.

Well, maybe he doesn't speak English, but then I caught the idea that maybe he didn't know he was receiving messages. So I tested it out.

I logged out of my account, edited an article in my wiki, and waited for a few seconds. I didn't receive a notification about any messages, but when I checked my message wall, there was ALREADY a welcome message. I tested this a few times in a few wikis, and the result are all the same. Usually, I get a notification for every message (whether it's a welcome tool or not) when I'm logged in.

I don't know if this is only happening to me, or also to some other people.

So, back to the question: Do anons actually receive a notification when someone left a message on their message walls? How about with talk pages?

If they don't, what do you think I should do next? Disable message walls? Because I think it is really unfair if I block someone, but they don't know they got any warnings.

Thanks :)

P.S. I don't know whether this is posted at the right place, or I should send it to Special:Contact. Please direct me to the right destination if this is wrong .)
