Editing restrictions
Hello Jack, I'd looked for a standard topic ban template to leave for both yourself and HistorianofRecenttimes but I couldn't find anything. But it's probably better that I leave some plain language advice anyway.

The policy that covers your restrictions is at WP:BAN. That page covers a lot of different circumstances in which a person may be banned, and different kinds of bans, so I'll point out what is relevant in your situation. You are subject to a topic ban. If you read that section, and read the example there but substitute "Banc De Binary" for "weather" then you'll get the idea. Please note that in your case, you are not restricted from discussing the topic, so you aren't prohibited from talking about Banc De Binary at article talk pages, user talk pages, or any other place. You're only restricted from editing main article space.

Also, the kind of ban you are subject to is a community ban. That doesn't make any difference as far as your restrictions go, but it doesn't affect how your ban can be appealed. In your case, for the ban to be lifted another discussion would take place, similar to the one that occurred at WP:ANI, and there would need to be a consensus of editors who agree to lift your ban. I will say that if you do want the ban lifted, my suggestion is to give it some time (at least wait a few months) and don't be too aggressive about having it lifted (this is just my personal advice).

Essentially, you should not edit the Banc De Binary article directly, doing so is a violation of your ban and can lead to warnings, or if you make an obvious violation it could lead directly to a block (usually the first block is a short one, and subsequent violations would lead to longer blocks and eventually you may be indefinitely blocked). Furthermore, you should avoid editing articles related to Banc De Binary (such as Nadex, or Binary option). You also shouldn't change the content of articles if your changes are related to Banc De Binary, such as inserting a link related to BDB, or removing information about a competitor, or correcting information about BDB. I believe that your role on Wikipedia is to represent BDB and act in its interests, so in your case just about any edit you make to main article space is going to be related to BDB in some fashion. So to be safe, you probably shouldn't edit any articles directly from this point forward. You can always report what you consider to be vandalism to the proper places (WP:ANI, WP:AIV, and so on) or ask other editors to fix problems, and you can make edit requests on article talk pages.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask me, thank you. --  At am a  頭 15:36, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Are there any restrictions outside of the topic ban? I.E. if I would like to contribute to an article about programming or other fields which I have interest in which do not interfere with my COI, am I able to do so? BDBJack (talk) 18:51, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure. That's the purpose of topic bans, they are implemented when the community (or the arbitration committee) decides that disruption from an editor is tied to a particular topic (whether it's due to a COI, or some general bias, or other misbehavior that only manifests in one part of the project). But an editor is only restricted from that topic, because it is believed that the editor has the potential for positive contributions elsewhere. If you want to edit the article space in such a way that has no relation to BDB (broadly construed) your ban doesn't prevent you from doing so. --  At am a  頭 19:01, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Binary option
Regards, BDBJack. I appreciate your patience dealing with the administrative thread and the topic ban; as being under voluntary topic ban myself, I don't see any need for you to change anything in your editing style, and I respect how you are upholding the internal social marketing protocols we have established in respect to your Wikipedia account. I had a collateral content question in passing that it seems appropriate to ask you here, rather than anywhere else, for consideration at your convenience. In re of your edit, where you deleted unsourced content that to me seemed informative, would your eventual intent be to restore the section with sources, to edit it significantly based on sources, or to continue not having such a section at all?

 * I would like to see the information sourced correctly, and made relevant to the subject of the article. While speaking about my ban, I would suggest that instead of directly editing the article that you make a COI Edit Request so as to follow Wikipedia's COI editing policies (and as a good-faith gesture).BDBJack (talk) 17:44, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you, BDBJack. This is good information for improving the article. I also discovered from the administrative thread that you wish to improve the encyclopedia in other ways, and I respect your continuing to use your independent judgment on this point. (I too would like more leisure to find other areas to edit once the BDB article has been brought into compliance or we are able to resolve our concerns about noncompliance in other ways.) As a jocular suggestion, when one is tired of editing articles about politics, as you have expressed, one might find religion to be a less stressful topic area. Of course, the reverse is also true.

 * I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. BDBJack (talk) 22:35, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Site ban
As a result of this discussion on the ANI noticeboard, you and other BDB accounts are banned from editing Wikipedia. If you feel this is unjustified, use to attract attention. Thanks, Number   5  7  11:48, 21 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I think it may be somewhat unfortunate that you've been caught up in the issues around BDBIsrael and the latest sock farm. Pinkbeast (talk) 12:24, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the understanding. I too understand that representatives of our company have not acted in what the community has seen as good faith. I am tired of arguing, and I was hoping before the ban to step away from the topic of Banc De Binary. I had started other editing projects, where my interests are non-controversial. But if the community wishes me to stay away, then I will. Thanks for all of the help in guiding me. BDBJack (talk) 12:53, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
