I think i've said this before, BUT THAT'S SCRIPTED INTO THE GAME AND THEREFORE OKAY. THIS IS NOT INTENTIONAL.
What about BUD switches? Should people be banned for building those?

Like it matters, it was scripted to the game. Now it's no longer in the script and everyone can be happy.

I'm not farmiliar with how they work. However the Sand generator does something it's not intended to do. Water+Lava makes cobble, that's supposed to happen. You're not supposed to be able to fabricate sand though.

It's not about giving someone an advantage over other players. You don't get an advantage either, because everyone could build it without manipulation, so no unfairness. It's about doing something using a bug. Watersources are intended to be infinite, and chicken farms also work with the intended possibilities of the game.

If you'd take it seriously, the should not be allowed.

These are what make minecraft the game it is, it shouldn't be bannable unless it's used as an exploit of some sort like using it to x-ray or do some sort of texture glitch.
Might as well ban water/lava buckets then; I could easily exploit those to build a massive lava wall around spawn.
It's not about what the sandgenerator does, but about how.

Well, it's just simple:

I say a glitch goes by wether it is an intended function or not.

It's an unfixed glitch, just like floating blocks of land being generated.
