| - Shouldn't the user boxes be pretty much Runescape or gamer or wiki related? Speaking specifically of the OJ boxes, I really don't think they belong here. Primarily for the fact that many people on both sides of that issue can still become quite heated. So let's leave the Runescape wikia something that will not provoke heated discussions....unless its about Runescape.--Degenret01 18:25, 1 July 2008 (UTC) Personally, I don't think politcal views or opinions, and non-game or entertainment related boxes belong at all. I am going to take a guess and say that more than half of the people who make userpages were too young to actively follow and comprehend the OJ case as it was. Even if that is not the case, I still agree that it doesn't belong. It's funny, I silently wondered the purpose of those boxes when I made my userpage yesterday. Ironic it comes up the next day in a controversy.

However, the userboxes were merely removed from this list, yet they Template:User doubts OJ|still Template:User trusts OJ|exist. If you really want to stop people from seeing them, mark them for deletion.

I understand how some people can get upset or extremely defensive or heated over controversial subjects. I would hate to see two or three people banned from the wiki because of an arguement over something such as this. It may be comical to say "OJ did it!" but there are many people who have strong views and are sure to let other people know. i personally don't know how long those boxes have been around, and it doesn't seem anybody has been upset with them so far, so I suppose I could argue both sides. But my final arguement would be that they aren't game or entertainment related at all, therefor kind of pointless. =\ Karlis 13:44, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
