I'm just curious. Why did you (almost) fully protect the user's talk page rather than revoke talk page access through the block process?--Bbb23 (talk) 17:37, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Altering block options would result in him not being able to edit it forever since the block is indef. I wanted to give him a chance to request another unblock in a year. Max Semenik (talk) 17:48, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Silly me, and I knew that was your intention. I forgot that you can't parse the block template into different functions for different periods the way you can, say, the protect page template. Perhaps we should request that capability. Of course, your action also means that pretty much only admins can edit his talk page (I don't know how many non-admin template editors there are). I suppose that's no big loss, though.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:12, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
