Comments welcome

This is a work in progress and I would like the input of many editors. The answers concerning appropriate notification and statement length are at this point my own guesses. The recommendations regarding spending ban time productively are partially my own guesses and partially based on a statement by admin Thryduulf. The assertion that banned editors are not allowed to tell anyone about unsourced information is based on admin Thryduulf's answer to a direct question. The assertion that leaving Wikipedia during the ban would not help is based on my interpretation of admin Liz's answer to an open-ended question.

Right now, the target audience is someone who has been accused of wrongdoing, but I could see expanding it to a filer who needs advice regarding what does and does not constitute a legitimate complaint. ("So and so did X; is this important enough for AE or should I do something else?"). This section would have the goal of preventing well-meaning filers from being sanctioned for complaints that they did not know were inappropriate for AE.

The advice to ask no questions is based on a statement by admin Thryduulf: Asking questions was interpreted as bad faith. [1] Darkfrog24 (talk) 01:44, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Whether banned users are allowed to report other banned users: AlbinoFerret, EdJohnston and others agreed that Hijiri was in violation when reporting Catflap for violating their shared topic ban, but it is not clear whether this is because of Hijiri's topic ban or because of the interaction ban [4] [5] (though technically Hijiri was following direct instructions by merely asking for clarification and then re-filing at AE).
