What do you mean?

I meant to move this thread to forums without moderation.

I'm going to agree with dvgrn on this one, and suggest that this thread be locked. There is just too much potential for abuse. No matter how much restrictions you place, the fact is that a thread like this is in all probability going to devolve into attacks on newbies. Case in point: your reasons 12-14 can literally be applied to ONLY people who are not familiar with the search programs mentioned, and guess who fits in that category? Newbies.

No, it could happen to anyone if they don’t know what those search programs are.

How many experienced people don't know about them though? How many experienced people "mix up oscillators and spaceships all the time"? How many experienced people would "ask what a glider is"? The fact remains that newbies are by definition more likely to not know about these things. Also, #8 is biased against those for whom English is not a first language.

No, #8 isn’t. Plus, I used to mix up JLS and jslife sometimes in my head! Newbies may be more likely, but that does not mean it is targeted towards them.

[...]Plus, I used to mix up JLS and jslife sometimes in my head! Newbies may be more likely, but that does not mean it is targeted towards them.

Point taken. But what about the others, especially rules 4, 7, 9, and 10? My point is that if a newbie reads this thread, thinks "hey, that's me", and realizes that they have done some of these stuff, they may well go on to think, "this community isn't welcoming towards newbies like me; look, they made a whole thread about things that I do! I should leave," which is definitely not the kind of thing we want.

7,9,and 10 are not intended to be biased towards newbies, and dvgrn says that 4 is ok and does not violate forum rule 1

WLS is a search program similar to JLS.

17. You find a random P2 with no uses whatsoever amusing
18. You find this thread amusing(it’s not amusing)
19. You synthesize some object in 20 gliders when it could be done in 10

Rules:

I think the example part of your rule 1 currently breaks your rules 1/2.

Anyways,
21. You think a knightship is a cane with a horse head on it.
22. You think normal Life is dumb so you always play other rules.
23. You think that normal Life is sort of like chess 960 because every time you play the cells are in a different starting position.
24. You think that if you do not get any alien objects in a census in another rule, then it is just the same as normal Life.
25. Your spaceships expire.
26. You never ever tried to promote your glider to a knightship.
27. what kind of website is this???

(inspired by the chess.com one)

protip: when a mod locks a thread, you probably shouldn't create a nearly identical thread with a couple haphazard added "rules" in a futile attempt to prevent it from going the same direction as the original.
