→Potential policy: Conservapedia topic bans/main page talk bans
::The main purpose of the topic bans is for editor retention purposes. In certain cases, if topic bans were be used instead of a broader block of editing the entire wiki, the editor would be retained rather than permanently lost or lost for an extended period.

=== The beauty of the topic ban ===
Here is the beauty of the topic ban:
A brand new liberal editor joins Conservapedia and begins to posting foolish, liberal tripe on talk pages. According to [[Conservapedia:Topic bans]], "If an editor is a new editor and has not built up a reputation of quality edits, the topic ban may be imposed quickly if the low quality of his edit/edits merits it." Also, "Editors who receive topic bans may incur them due to their article edits and/or their talk page edits." Also, "For example, such an editor may be asked to refrain from editing political/religious/history articles or various other kinds of articles." Also, "Also, if the matter merely requires an editor to be better educated about a topic, the editor in question may be asked to create an article in draft space. If the draft article is of sufficient quality, it will be moved to Conservapedia article space."
So a new liberal editor who nearly always post liberal tripe to talk pages, can immediately be given a draft page writing assignment or can be told he can only post to non-ideological articles. Since promotion of the liberal narrative is all-important to hard core leftists, this immediately shuts them down.
For example, a militant leftist joins Conservapedia. He can immediately be assigned to create a draft article on [[Soviet historical revisionism]] or [[Decline of the secular left in the 21st century]]. The possibilities are endless.
In short, the topic ban is a conservative iron fist in a velvet glove approach to handling hard core leftist ideologues! [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 06:53, 6 May 2017 (EDT)
