You know I suspect that we're making this

templates but remove the categories? I'm pretty sure that doing so
would make instances of abuse pretty rare. The boxes themselves
aren't really much of a problem, they're just a means of
self-expression.
I tried removing the categories from the templates that had been
nominated for deletion. This was reverted almost immediately...by
someone with less than 50 article edits (but with over 700 total
edits). That's when I began to wonder who was running the asylum.
Ah yes, an editor who manages to devote only 6% of his edits to articles,
who has apparently never felt the need to make even *one* comment on an
article Talk: page, and who has 4 times as many edits to his user page as to
the encyclopedia itself. Well, on the bright side, he appears to have only
26 userboxes on his user page.
Um, what are these people doing here again?
Jay.
