I'd oppose this.
If someone isn't able to voluntarily leave a topic alone, he or she
shouldn't be welcome on the entire project. The idea of topic bans is
rehabilitation not punishment. Topic bans are generally enacted to people
who are well-intended (or so we assume per AGF) and very motivated in
contributing to that topic in a manner that is not acceptable.
In addition, adding too much handicap to an account promotes sockpuppetry.
We should be promoting honesty and mutual respect not cunning ways to avoid
sanctions.

Has there been any discussion in the past about
implementing article
specific (or category specific?) blocks as a way of enforcing topic bans?
I'm thinking that an article may have a list or log of blocked editors,
so
that an editor can be blocked from a specific
article without blocking
them
more generally or relying on their good faith to
not violate topic bans.
Any
thoughts?

Such a thing would be brilliant. Similarly, an option to block users from
certain namespaces would be good as well. How about start a discussion on a
village pump? It's certainly possible, afaik.
