The transfer of deleted templates to userspace mentioned in the statement by Tony Sidaway is not the only instance of Crotalus horridus attempting to sidestep the deletion of userboxes:

• 00:22 (UTC) 2006-02-11 removed a speedy deletion tag from Template:User against Iraq War
• 21:20 (UTC) 2006-02-06 removed a speedy deletion tag from Template:User recreate after substantive edit [diff]
• 20:10 (UTC) 2006-02-03 recreated Template:User admins ignoring policy after second deletion
• 19:40 (UTC) 2006-02-01 recreated Template:User no Rand after deletion

It should be mentioned that Crotalus horridus is not the worst offender in this respect among "pro-userbox" users.

I have encountered Crotalus horridus on a number of occasions in the last month: I do not recall having come accross him before his unsuccessful request for adminship. I can testify as to the difficulty in persuading him to accept dispute resolution, and to his tendency to want to pass by force to achieve his aims on Wikipedia.

On the evening of 2006-02-06 (EST), Crotalus horridus decided to nominate Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct for deletion at WP:MFD [1]. It took an hour of negotiation with me and a second administrator to persuade Crotalus horridus that this was not an appropriate manner to raise his concerns about the user RfC process: he withdrew the nomination after having reverted four attempts to close as a speedy keep [2], [3], [4], [5], for which he was briefly blocked for disruption.

In the run up to the Canadian federal election on 2006-01-23, Crotalus horridus joined in the debate as to whether or not, and in what terms, it was appropriate to mention the "blackout clause" prohibiting publication of East-coast results before the closure of the polls in British Columbia (the debate is archived at Template talk:ElectionResultsCA). While the consensus view was that a neutral statement of the existence of this Canadian law was appropriate during the three hours that it applied, Crotalus horridus could not be convinced that this did not constitute a violation of WP:NLT. In the twenty minutes before the first polls closed (01:00 UTC 2006-01-24), he edited Template:ElectionResultsCA four times [6], [7], [8], [9] to remove the mention of the Canadian law. Being reverted at each step, he decided to subst the template [10] into the main article concerning the election Canadian federal election, 2006, and then to edit the substed code as to remove the mention of the blackout law, [11]. When the mention was replaced he reverted this as well [12]. He was blocked for three hours for breach of WP:3RR, but not before he had been able to remove the template from 46 articles concerning individual electoral districts [13].
