If user boxes are allowed, there is going to have to be a clear line that says, language user boxes are okay but these types of user boxes are not okay.
That kind of assumes people won't and don't get round clear-cut rules. All I know is that they will and do. If people really want to make a mess of their user pages, so that others referring to them will get no reassurance, they will certainly do that somehow. For myself I'd take an axe to most of the templates, but treating it mostly as a fad that will pass is a better idea, for its nonsensical aspects.
