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. The user Jtw2014 wasn't just harassing users on the forums, but also via talkpages repeatedly, so it felt appropriate to simply not let them continue via their own tp.

Thanks for the notice though, but 95% of the blocks applied by myself never included the option of not editing tp's: this was added on if necessary.
