Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of chromatin silencing at telomeres. The initial formation of a transcriptionally silent chromatin structure such as heterochromatin at the telomere. Repression of transcription by altering the structure of chromatin, e.g. by conversion of large regions of DNA into an inaccessible state often called heterochromatin. Repression of transcription of telomeric DNA by altering the structure of chromatin. Any epigenetic process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate of gene expression. Any transcriptional or post-transcriptional process carried out at the cellular level that results in long-term gene inactivation. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of chromatin silencing at telomeres. Any process that affects the rate, extent or location of chromatin silencing at telomeres. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-dependent transcription. The maintenance of chromatin in a transciptionally silent state such as heterochromatin at the telomere.
