content: Wikipedia: Edits "on behalf of banned users" are forbidden. Problem: Anyone can be accused of this! Link to policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Banning_policy#Proxying The problem is that not only can anyone be accused of this, but an unrelated Wikipedia editor might coincidentally have the same interests as a previously banned editor. Just because he edits the same articles as a previously banned user, he can be blocked as well! In other words: Banned users have the power to make innocent users vulnerable. Brilliant, Wikipedia.
