I just noticed the change in the box (which was actually made today. It was humungous to start with) and so I did some testing. If we put the alert after the cover image, it doesn't do that. I changed It Lives Beneath Choices as a test and left a note to give feedback here. It's not perfect and I still don't care for it. I think the alert symbol is way too large, but at least the thing as a whole is small enough to sit next to the cover image and a little bit less of an eyesore.

As for not taking it away, I couldn't say. That's kind of why I assume most people do like it. And it wasn't as if this happened over a day or something like that. The user was active or semi active for over a year with over a thousand edits in the last three months he was on. It's not so easy to deal with a situation like that, because removing all edits definitely removes good things as well. He was fine at first and then agressively acting like he had more authority than he did and then when he was giving a temporary ban he want crazy and that's when the actual vandalism started. He created over half a dozen fake user profiles, one after the other as they were banned and posted images that are 100% against terms of service and replaced covers with them, renamed some pages to have names that are 100% not okay here, it was just bad. Over the course of a few hours it took probably half a dozen of us to combat his actions before his IP could be blocked rather than just the user names. I can only imagine what would have happened if he hadn't had anyone on at the time.

@ Nixiéoffset - It already looks a lot better, just because it's smaller and can actually be placed next to the cover image and not just take up the whole top of the page, offset and weird like it did.
