KrytenKoro - "Punch your lights out, hit the pavement. That's what I call entertainment. Causin' problems makes you famous - all the violence makes a statement." TALK - I've reached my tolerance limit for the spamming of talkboxes people are making. We have people uploading up to forty or fifty fan-images for their talkboxes, images which they never use. Allowing these images for talkboxes was already a huge concession to our "No fanart" policy, and it is being viciously abused. We have people making six to seven whole templates. The entire thing has gotten unmanageable, and defeats the entire purpose of a talkbox, which is to enhance the identification of your user persona, making it easier for readers to tell who is saying what. I propose that we only allow one talkbox template per user, and that it is allowed up to three fan-made images. Anyone who is in violation of that would then need to fix their main template, put up the extras for deletion, and go through each talk page they are listed on and correct the template-calls.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 22:30, February 2, 2011 (UTC) Amen. Hallelujah. Praise the Lor't. Totally, completely agree. I am 100% fed up with not being to identify a user based on their talk template. Also, can we make it a rule that talk templates have to display the user's username? Having the name shown as "Roxas" or "Terra" doesn't help me, AT ALL. And to everyone who is about to say, "NO WAY, THAT LIMITS MY FREEDOM AND EXPRESSION." Well, "expression" doesn't mean spamming the image database with images from oftentimes an entirely different franchise and confusing users with your multiple images. And honestly, if you can't find a way to express yourself with three sets of colors, multiple sets of quotes, images, and fonts... well, I kind of artistically pity you.

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Lea, we have to go." "Well, I can tell you are." — 22:26, February 2, 2011 (UTC) Do you mean...different bubbles in a template? Or multiple template pages? But yeah, while I see what you mean, I haven't seen it as a problem. The templates, I mean. The images are getting out of hand.

Chitalian8 Say... — Only by allowing strangers in can we find new ways to be ourselves. Life's little crossroads are often as simple as the pull of a trigger. — 22:28, February 2, 2011 (UTC) Regarding your point on identifying the user, should it be mandatory for the name in your talkbox to be your actual username (See this template)?
