Wikipedia:Userboxitis

Userboxitis can be a very serious disease in which the afflicted user's number of userboxes swells beyond any purpose and can become a burden. Userboxitis is often caused by userbox addiction.

Types of Userboxitis

Type A Userboxitis

Type A userboxitis, also known as "early onset userboxitis" is caught by a user first learning about userboxes, and becomes overly obsessed with them. This type of userboxitis often results in many pointless userboxes. In time, this can lead to type C userboxitis.

Type B Userboxitis

Type B userboxitis has an unknown cause, occasionally jealousy over other users' userboxes or userboxitis, and occurs later in a Wikipedian's life. This type of userboxitis is more dangerous, because it can lead to type C userboxitis.

Type C Userboxitis

Type C userboxitis is the most advanced stage of userboxitis, where the infecterd user begins to create their own userboxes from scratch. This can lead to type B userboxitis, and can often result in multiple userboxes saying the same thing.

Cure

There is no known cure for userboxitis, excepting block from Wikipedia. A seriously afflicted user may create userboxes in a separate program, such as notepad, and copy them over to Wikipedia when the block expires. A permanent block can occur in a new user account being made (note Willy on Wheels incident). However, complete deletion or partial deletion of userboxes has been rumored to cure userboxitis, but it is a hard and painful process.
