It is usually frowned upon to block a [[user]] from editing their own [[WikiIndex:Talk | It is usually frowned upon to block a [[user]] from editing their own [[WikiIndex:Talk pages for wiki people|user talk page]], or emailing; unless they have demonstrated clear abuse of those particular channels, against which they have been properly warned. However, many wikis are unable 'ring-fence' user talk pages from blocking action, therefore, a disruptive user needs to be aware of such limitations. Also, if there is a community portal discussion concerning a blocked user, they must be afforded an opportunity to defend themselves at that discussion, with the understanding that they are not allowed to edit the remainder of the wiki.
