Yes, when you're banned we will celebrate.

@Hunting, just for the record, I personally am much more likely to ban you for unnecessary mean-spirited posts like this one, than I am to ban BokaBB for being BokaBB. If BokaBB does things that you don't like, you can certainly make your objections known, either to the moderators or (preferably) directly to BokaBB -- but please learn how to be polite about it!

Some of your antagonism toward BokaBB comes across as the kind of thing I'd expect to see from a bully in an elementary school yard, aimed at someone they've decided they don't like. This kind of ugliness has no place on these forums (even in the Sandbox). Please think twice before you post anything similar in the future.

I supported BokaBB when he was a new rulegolfer, but I've had enough of these bullying and ownership mindset. As described by MathAndCode, BokaBB's "joke threads" accurately describes his mindset and (in my opinion) does not belong to this forum.

I hope this is polite enough; But I'm following wwei23's footprints if this community continues to worsen and/or become more homophobic. I hope not.

I was new and inexperienced back then,I was thinking about people who could apgsearch in the nearly same way as of gods.
I am just having fun here with people I know will listen to me and are good.
I will try to apgsearch soon.
Have a good day!

This is an academic forum, so the person doesn't matter. People investigate rules because they find them interesting, not because they listen to you, nor is it because your one-line posts.

Try to change your mindset and fit into this community more. We respect every contributor, but your stuff, once published, are part of the community.

@dvgrn: ^ Look, another example of BokaBB refusing to communicate.

As far as I know, many forum members consider you to be from annoying to unacceptable, and in this particular thread people are making fun of you (in case you did not realize).

How many times do I need to tell you apgsearch is not the only search program and search program is not the only way to investigate CA (and not a particular efficient way unless you have superior computing power)? I only have three programs as of now, apgsearch, qfind and dr, plus a few Golly scripts that aren't really search programs. My notable discoveries in LeapLife using these programs, respectively:

Apgsearch: None
qfind: None
dr: Some glider eaters, some LWSS eater trivial variations, a catalyst equivalent to a block, two new notable billiard tables.

As you can see, the vast majority of my discoveries were found manually. If you want to know how, be my guest.

Q.E.D.

It's not a good example at all, though. Disagreement with your opinion does not constitute "failure to communicate".

Now, as far as control over posts published on the forums, I do agree with you more than with BokaBB here. Trying too hard to control what other people post on a Sandbox thread is more or less a waste of time. However, it's not actually against the rules to start a Sandbox thread with a particular purpose, and try to set some ground rules for other people to follow.

Then it's everyone's job to, first, be polite, and second, decide whether they want to follow those ground rules or not. If for some strange reason they don't want to follow the rules but still want to post on the thread (in Conway's name, why?!?) then they should be prepared to abide by the consequences, which may include the creator or the thread complaining about their failure to follow the rules.

With a little practice, all of this be done without anyone calling anyone any names, getting terribly upset, or reporting each others' posts to the moderators, who would really rather be doing something else besides settling silly squabbles in the Sandbox.

@Hunting, please think about this carefully. What you've just said about BokaBB applies equally well to you and your own past behavior on these forums. Nobody is running popularity contests here, but it can definitely be said that "many forum members" would really like you to continue to improve your ability to communicate politely with other forum members whose behavior you find annoying. "When you're banned we will celebrate" is a terribly rude thing to say to anyone who is making a good-faith effort to participate in the community.

MathAndCode suggested a much more sensible response to Sandbox threads that you don't like:

I hope this is polite enough; But I'm following wwei23's footprints if this community continues to worsen and/or become more homophobic. I hope not.

That message was mostly polite enough, though my general impression is that the term "bullying" could more appropriately be applied to your attempts to control BokaBB, than to BokaBB's attempts to control you. Here again, I'm really hoping to avoid wasting hours reading all of these huge piles of irrelevant Sandbox posts, in order to make a totally fair judgment about which of you is "right". It seems perfectly possible that neither of you is "right".

I do definitely agree that some of this thread's content is pretty questionable. Threats to "kill" or "destroy" people are generally in very poor taste, at best. I mean, obviously this is a "joke thread", but is it really necessary to tell these jokes?

However, nobody has reported any of these posts as offensive. If that happened, I'd probably just lock the thread and suggest that everyone find something else to do.

I'm not clear on the meaning of your reference to the forums continuing to "worsen and/or become more homophobic". If you see that happening, please report the relevant posts. That definitely would be something that moderators should be addressing!
