My question: *if* there is concensus to allow banned users to post if "some people feel like letting them", why not SAY that in the banning/blocking policy? Because that seems to be... the practice.
Quite clearly two unrelated policies are in conflict in this instance: 1) WP:AUTO says that you can't edit your own article; you should post complaints on the talk page instead. 2) WP:BAN says that banned editors can't edit anything, except possibly their own user talk page.
No one ever thought of the situation where the subject of an article is a banned editor. Now that it's happened, the conflict has to be resolved by setting a priority to the above. Consensus in this thread appears to be that WP:AUTO overrules WP:BAN. Problem solved. Have a nice day and thank your mother for the rabbits.
