	One major flaw I see with this is that admins would be unable to put users in probation, despite it being reasonable for admins to have this power. It forces us to have to rely on the only active bureaucrat Toomai to implement the actual probation. If this limitation could be bypassed however, I would support this.

	Also DP99, users have been warned to [[User talk:Etbmax\|stop editing their userpage excessively, and still left after their page got protected rather than actually do anything to get it unprotected and therefore ~~Smash Arena~~]]. I also find it incredibly unlikely such users would actually stay if they got probation instead (and I think probation would encourage them to leave even more, as they also lose forum editing rights). Regardless, any user that would leave over userpage protection for not putting in any constructive work is not a user we would want around here anyway, and should not be a concern. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant\|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant\|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 23:40, 27 August 2012 (EDT)		Also DP99, users have been warned to [[User talk:Etbmax\|stop editing their userpage excessively, and still left after their page got protected rather than actually do anything to get it unprotected and therefore]].
