wwei23, you've started to irritate many users on this forum, with a combination of needlessly promoting your '1x256X2+1' results over various threads, multiple-posting, and pointless necroposting. Despite several people requesting, with varying levels of politeness, that you cease this behaviour, you persisted unabated.
I gritted my teeth and tolerated this, for a short while, but then decided you went too far after posting swastika* RLEs on two distinct threads in the Sandbox. After all, this could give seriously wrong signals about the nature of the GoL community. Assuming your chronological age is comparable to your mental age, I understand that the connotations of that symbol refer to events many multiples of your lifetime in the past -- however, several users of this forum have lived through the period in question, and could plausibly have traumatic memories of these incidents. Even more worryingly, recent events in Charlottesville, USA, have shown this ideology to not be confined to the history books.
* Yes, I realise that the symbol (either in the same or reversed orientation) far predated the period in question, having semiotic significance in both Hinduism and Judaism since antiquity. However, your entitling of the post as "thread for your
scary discoveries" demonstrates that you were not using it as an ancient mystical symbol (which would have been acceptable) but instead referring to its 20th-century corruption.
If it were my choice, I would ban you from these forums for a month. Fortunately for you, I don't have that instrumental power, so I've instead decided to increase the minimum haul threshold on 1x256X2+1 to 20 million.
I suggest apologising sincerely to the populace of this forum for any offence you may have caused, lest I may increase this threshold even further or ban you from Catagolue completely.
