[edit] Can be used to blame others for being SPs

Does anybody here think this userbox could be used in the same way as {{sockpuppet}}. I've seen people in the past vandalize people's userboard with a SP notice. What guideline should this template be used? --LBMixPro<Speak|on|it!> 06:46, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I can see some legitamite uses such as;

  • Bots
  • User who created a new account in good faith because they didn't like their old user name.
  • And Cyde who seems to be collecting all boxes ever made.

Since both this and {{User Puppet Master}} seem more like fun-templates, they should as well be taken with a grain of salt. Especially {{User Puppet Master}} uses this "with multiple minions to do his/her bidding" phrase which reveals its joke nature. I say keep 'em both the way they are.

This template was kept deleted after a silly debate that avoided addressing the CSD under which it was deleted. --Dschor 01:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
To be more accurate, the old template was kept deleted after it was decided somehow that this reworded current template doesn't have a strong-enough connection to the old one to be identified as the same, so they seem to have been treated as two different templates. --AySz88^-^ 01:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
