This is of course correct if not reflective of the practice of some of our more enthusiastic userbox removers. Do you wish withdraw or modify your statement? Of course no one is really expecting you to rigidly apply policy as flawed as T1 because deleting [[Template:Nazism]] would probably be regarded as stupid by pretty much everyone. On a personal level I think the new userbox sucks. But then at the last count I thought that about: Userboxes in general (I can just about tolerate Babel boxes although I would rather people got the embassy system working instead) Messages on userpages saying "this page has been vandalised X times" where X is a single figure number Image galleries on userpages (subpages exist for a reason) [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award]] Complex coding on User talk pages However unless your image gallery is made up of fair use images I am not going to interfere with your choice to have a sucky userpage. -- geni

Funny, it appears the userbox war ended while no one was paying attention. As of yesterday, T1 became G10, which was then rolled into G3 as "no attack pages", defined as a page which disparages its subject. "Divisive" and "inflammatory" and "polemical" appear to have gone the way of "VfD" and "Jimbo on Wheels!" Given the "attack pages" def, {{burninhell}} appears to be one of the only userboxes left that *does* qualify for deletion. Ben On 3/9/06, John Lee <johnleemk(a)gawab.com> wrote:
