What about "blank cheque" templates where a basic userbox structure is provided and users just insert their preferred text/images? I think that these might be okay, if subst'ed.
Yep, and just the one {{userbox}} will do. It can always be substituted. No other set of templates is needed, bar the ones Alphax outlined. Other categories to go with the boxes are also (obviously) unneeded.
As stated before (many times) fair use images aren't permissable on userpages.
I doubt the userbox fanatics will allow this sensible compromise to pass, however. They're only having fun, after all. They aren't damaging the servers, after all. They aren't being offensive, after all. We should all "lighten up", after all.
