Bringing this up again, as it's getting silly. Daniel Brandt posts here, and I rv him per policy as a banned user:

I get undone here with the comment "it is ridiculous that brandt should not be allowed to comment on his own article":

I then refactored out his commentary (Brandt's), reported his IP to AIV as posting by a banned user, and that IP is now blocked.
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.
Surely the issue is whether people should be allowed to comment on articles about themselves, regardless of whether or not they are banned? What is more important: allowing individuals to notify us about errors in articles about themselves or maintaining our block policy regardless of everything else?
