For the blocks I performed in which "cannot edit talkpage" was done, this was due to the user being blocked without that option, then proceeding to either remove or vandalise their talk pages.

I always give the user the benefit of the doubt and let them edit their tp's but I revoke that right if the user starts making vandalism or policy violation edits to their talkpage after the block has been applied. I never use it as a straight up option, unless the user has been an obvious vandal.
