Forum:CT Archive/Annihilation of Religion Userboxes

Forums &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

I propose that Wookieepedia delete all real-world religion userboxes and warn against posting any information regarding religion or denomination, as it only seems to turn users against each other by waving it in their faces. There are over 25 user pages alone that use the Christian template and some users have gone too far. Nothing good comes from this. The only religions here should be those used in-universe, say the Force for example.

Oppose

 * 1) There's already another CT on this. And I opposed it there. If people are offended, that's their own problem. Havac 05:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I should have known one Consensus Track wasn't enough for the pro-censorship crowd. Frankly, I don't consider this vote legal. -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 11:20, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments
There is a rule already in place on WP:UP stating not to propose religious/political useboxes for this very reason. Although I think restricting custom userboxes is a bit harsh, it may be warranted in this case.  StarNeptune Talk to me! 06:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * They found a way around it by not making them official, which still has to be dealt with. --  Riffsyphon  1024 06:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It is warranted indeed. We've already seen how much problems that kind of stuff can cause. KEJ 07:44, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
