18 December 2015 UTC Putting the tags there is not the same thing as dismissing the comments outright Whoever assesses the consensus of the RfC will be able to see everything including what we are discussing here and place however much or little weight on any given comment that they deem appropriate You would be absolutely right to object if anyone were blocked or otherwise sanctioned for having made the edits before the ban was finalized But assessing the weight of a comment is not a punishment It is an assessment of community consensus at the time the RfC is closed and the close will necessarily be after the bans have come into effect 02 13
