Not that dissimilar to "my neighbour beats his wife, so I do too"...

Ok, so some users are allowed links on their user page and some are not. The point I was trying to drive home, which I think you may have possibly missed, is that nowhere on the Git wiki does it say that user pages cannot be used in such a way. Nor is there any mention that using *enabled* features such as reaching an admin via their talk page will get them banned for life.

Then why aren't these features disabled, if using them will result in an infinite ban (which is a little bit too strong, no?) from the Git wiki?
