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.

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. "Lea, we have to go."

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.

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.

20px-Pin_000.png 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)?

Deal! I'm all for it. Seriously, why do you even need six or seven templates? One per customer has always worked (except for maybe shoes...), so let's do it!
