:Sounds good. I could have protected all the ones that were being modified by non-admins, but I just wasn't entirely sure how uncontroversial it would be. I knew it would be justified to protect the ones of the indefinitely blocked users with globally disabled accounts since they wouldn't be able to request an unblock anyway, which is why I protected the talk pages of those particular users, since as far as I could see, there was no reason why a non-admin should be editing them, especially not if they're trolling. ― <span style="font-family:'Constantia'; font-weight:bold; font-size:108%;">[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]</span> <span style="font-family:'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size:108%;">([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]])</span> 23:38, August 26, 2017 (UTC)
::I support indefinitely fully protecting the user talk pages of users if:
::#The user is indefinitely blocked with no talk page access, and is a sockpuppet account (Through which any appeals must be made through the main account); OR
::#The user's account has been globally disabled (Not globally blocked) for over 30 days (After that point, disabled accounts cannot be recovered). The talk page should be replaced with a message stating that the account has been disabled and that all previous messages can be found in the page history (If the user had an archive system in place, all the messages on the talk page should be archived in that fashion) (We should probably create a template for this purpose).
::Other people's talk pages can be semi-protected, either upon request or at an admin's discretion, but I would not recommend indefinitely protecting them, since that also locks out legitimate IP users from being able to contact the user. During the time such a talk page is protected, users affected by the protection should be encouraged to contact the user via alternative means, such as on Community Central (In my case I let users email me as well).
::Also, I don't think it should be a requirement to protect the talk pages of indefinitely blocked or globally disabled accounts; admins should choose to protect (or not to protect) such pages at their (hopefully wise) discretion. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 00:22, August 27, 2017 (UTC)
