[WikiEN-l] Userboxes

[Phoenix wiki]

Isn't it time we decided just what is and isn't acceptable on userpages?
Hardly a day goes by without some userpage MfD. While common sense would be
able to sort this out no problem, that's something people don't seem to
posess:

Firstly, there's the issue of inflamatory userboxes. It appears that
userboxes supporting American troops in Iraq are acceptable, but userboxes
supporting the Iraqi insurgensy aren't. Userboxes supporting the killing of
Iraqi insurgents are acceptable, but ones that support the killing of
American troops aren't. Surely both the "support" ones should be acceptable,
whilst the ones that support killing should be delete. Then there's the ones
that advocate peodophilia. Users who have these often argue that we accept
homosexual userboxes, which is just a stupid argument, but they don't seem
to be able accept that.

Then there's the issue of mimicing mediawiki interface. Surely telling
someone they have new messages when they don't is blatant lying? There was a
recent ANI post and MfD over this, and now there's an RfC.
