I think the new proposed policy is wonderful, but holding a straw poll at this stage is not good. If people have objections to aspects of the new proposal, let us change the proposal to address those objections (it's a wiki!) and not cement the thing in its current form by holding a premature poll. I move that we abandon this poll and just see how things progress over the next few days. -- Tony Sidaway 20: 27, 22 February 2006 (UTC) Setting aside my qualms for now. Let's go with what we've got. -- Tony Sidaway 20: 46, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Stong support per everyone else. Finally, some progress! -- CJ Marsicano 05: 31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Me joins the mindless sheep and most likely gets eaten by a Grue, but hey, life's short, so I support. Hey, that rhymed.

This proposal only opens the door to more bickering, by declaring that all POV, and all political POV and/or advocacy, will be banished from userboxdom. On the other hand idenfitication will be "okay" (so long as it is not a partisan political affiliation). The problem is that identification itself is always going to be a POV decision. That may or may not start out a political matter, but it certainly can be. And it certainly can become political - especially when you don't allow people to just be up front.
Oppose. My opposition is based on a few points,
Oppose, like some of the alleged supporters probably would, but they're probably being fooled by misleading wording.

Neutral. In general I think this proposal sort of goes in the right direction and I think we need some sort of policy here. But I find the proposal muddily formulated and I am unclear about what implications it would have. See my questions on the talk page for the kind of unclarity I find. --- Charles Stewart (talk) 21: 26, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
