This is unlike page editing, which is inconsistent and a poor user experience.

@Ryasmeen this ticket appears to be similar to T248024 [i] in so far as it too seems to be resolved considering it's been tagged with Verified [ii] and not moved to Ready for sign off.
If the above is not the case, please re-open this task and comment as much.

I don't recall exactly what the experience was before now, but I just did a quick test of the current functionality. When I try to add a new section from a blocked account, I can click Add Topic and write my text, and then trying to save the edit displays:
(I'm not sure what the little red bell icon is for)
On desktop, clicking 'New section' prevents you from writing anything and gives you a more direct message informing you that your account is blocked and guidance on how to understand/appeal this.
Ideally I'd think that users should be given a similar message on mobile, rather than a generic 'you don't have permission' message, but I'm not sure if that's what this task was getting at originally, or if that's another issue.
