[WikiEN-l] Re: Proposal: make user pages uneditable

Do you people not understand how much disgusting (pornographic, name-calling) vandalism goes on on User pages?  It's one of the main reasons for blocking anons.  The Talk page is for editing.  The User page is for a person's philosophy, who they are, what they are.  Why do you feel the need to do that?  What's wrong with just editing the Talk page and leaving the User page alone?

:I agree. I actively encourage people editing my (my? It's wikimedia's
isn't it?) user page by stating a feel free to edit this page note on
it.
