I think this userbox is probably meant to be funny, but the part where it implies that the user will commit murder if they are ignored is concerning. gobonobo + c 05:45, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree that this userbox is concerning, but it could be edited to remove the part that is concerning. It could just say "This user feels he has been made invisible and no one cares or knows of what this user feels, knows or exists for." --Bduke (talk) 06:27, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * How did you come to find it? SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:36, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Why is how they found it relevant? It's easy to find, e.g. it's in various user box galleries Userboxes/Emoticons. 163.1.15.238 (talk) 11:57, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It’s ten years old, it’s got no pageviews, it could have been quietly blanked. SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:33, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Templates and transcluded pages don't register page views when viewed as part of another page. 163.1.15.238 (talk) 12:42, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, good point. So pageviews on transcluded pages are meaningless. SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:49, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Yep, for an extreme example cite web gets 400-500 page views a day despite being used on ~ 2/3 of articles, which get approx 250 million page views a day. 163.1.15.238 (talk) 10:45, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * And I don't think quietly blanking it is a good solution either, since it is in use on about a dozen people's userpages. 163.1.15.238 (talk) 12:43, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * As it is used on others’ userpages, these others should be invited to this discussion.
 * The userbox message is weird. It seems to allude to a deeper meaning, and seems to maybe be just stupid.  Could it allude to something in popular culture?  It’s creator was into movies and games.  If it is just stupid, why did other users copy it? SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:06, 9 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete, I remember coming across this and thinking it was extremely weird and, frankly, disruptive. I don't think it has any contemporary use on Wikipedia, as clearly even if is some pop culture reference, there aren't a lot of people who remember haha. Amadeus22  🙋 🔔 02:52, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. IMHO, this userbox is anything but funny – it seems to be weird, immature, distasteful and potentially disturbing at the same time. When looking at it, I can't help but wondering if Adam Lanza have had similar "creations" at some earlier point of his life (probably not here, but maybe on some other medias). Wikipedia shouldn't be keeping userboxes that threaten murdering people, even as some sort of a bad joke. —Sundostund (talk) 08:02, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
