Thanks for the message I ve always seen ban tagging more of a way to prevent time wasting rather than as a badge of shame although I can definitely see how it can be such If the editor was fairly active on Wikipedia users unaware of the editor s editing status may continue to approach the editor for help I don t think this matter is a huge deal and in the future I ll defer to the blocking admin s discretion I generally have a mild curiosity in dispute resolution on Wikipedia and this instance was a case of curiosity I couldn t overcome Kind regards
