→Potential policy: Conservapedia topic bans/main page talk bans
::::::It sounds like something which could in certain cases be useful. However, I can't see it being regularly used. My main concern is that same as 1990'sguy's. How would this be enforced? If we could get or create a wiki plugin which actually blocked users from editing in pages with certain category tags, this could be a nice thing to have in the toolbox. However, if this will all be done manually, I would say it is probably not a very practical idea. One or two users might be manageable, but if we get 20 "topic banned" users, how would we ever keep track of it all, and make sure no one is doing what they shouldn't?

::::::The only way I can see this being somewhat practical without digital support is a "non-controversial" restriction. People who keep adding a LPoV might be banned from editing anything regarding politics or anything else liberalism has infiltrated. If they want to write a page on how cars are manufactured, then that's fine. However, they would not be allowed to change anything on the "evolution" article.--[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 22:10, 5 May 2017 (EDT)

DavidB4, thanks. You gave me an idea on how to better enforce the topic ban. But in most cases, it will probably be the blocker who enforces the topic ban. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 22:16, 5 May 2017 (EDT)
