You don't have to give any examples, I wasn't stating it never happened, I meant it shouldn't happen. When it does, we simply discuss the matter with the sysop. So the point still seems redundant to me.

And it turns out I was wrong on the talk page block default. It appears users are not blocked from editing talk pages with the default settings. So while I almost never tick the box, others probably do, otherwise you wouldn't have brought up this point (and I have to admit I never cared to tick the checkbox). So you have a valid point there, though you are wrong about the CC cross wiki talks: Accounts are global and so are talk page notifications. So users will notice messages sent to them on CC.
