Banning Policy was closed on 12 October. Arbcom affirmed that users have "considerable leeway" in terms of how their talk pages are managed. Users Tarc (talk · contribs), Smallbones (talk · contribs), and Hell in a Bucket (talk · contribs) were all warned to refrain from edit warring and making inflammatory comments. Tarc was also topic banned from editing any of the administrator's noticeboards or User talk:Jimbo Wales, and from reinstating any edits that were reverted because they were made by a banned user.
