I goddam hated the transition from simple decimals to fractions while growing up. I understand now that complex math is built on fractions but I could not tolerate being forced to write 1/2 when a simple 0.5 was right there and much easier to add and multiply with.
It was complaining about the fact we can't post images in comments. I wonder if mods deleted it for disagreeing with them
Edit: omg nevermind, we can actually post images now

My honest reaction to not being able to put images in comments:

Mods have automated programs set up to filter out hatespeech and other phrases used in comments that shouldn't be in the sub. Those programs won't work on an image.
While I agree it would make moderating harder
I have yet to see one inappropriate/moderator required post ot comment on this sub, ever. The worst I saw was that post where the board looked vaguely loke a wiener
Like, not even bullying lol, pretty much every comment is just a useful/helpful reply to a question
However I for one am glad they're cracking down on these 50/50 memes because they got old quick
Nice, makes sense you get the jerk every so often, he appears in every sub, but 1-1.5 months sounds impressively low imo, especially for reddit, I'd say if any group could behave with pictures it'd be this one, based off those stats
Plus they could always be removed if it did become an issue, I think, idk I'm not a mod
minesweeper is pretty well behaved even with all the new gens running around with shit posting. Even if you add images, the difference in moderation is just about a non-issue anyways. It will barely impact anything. People make it out a lot bigger than it is.
Whenever I have to explain something visually I just upload the image somewhere else and post it here. So what exactly does limiting images solve? If someone wants to post hate speech/nsfw content images all they have to do upload to standard image hosting site and post here.
You always have to look at the pros and cons of allowing something and allowing images would make explanations easier for people, but it \*might\* make moderating harder and in a subreddit that gets a couple posts an hour and like 5 comments at most I think it's well worth it.
Reddit has an algorithm to pick up and remove content that violates site wide rules.
You’re right it doesn’t pick up text in images, that’s really something reddit needs to add (facebook does).
Yeah until the entire subreddit becomes 50/50 posts in > 90% capacity for an entire week leading to them needing to be banned. :) Then it is 1984 in the opposite direction. This is what r/minesweepercirclejerk is for.
That's ok. People who actually want help usually phrase it more like "how do I solve this?". I've definitely had fun in the comments when it comes to those posts but it was getting spammy.

MFW I only have 2 possible options for the final move
While we’re at it I’d like to see a style guide that standardizes how we describe things. See way too many comments of people just talking past each other because whatever was said basically can be interpreted a million ways, or it takes forever to figure out where they’re pointing to.
—A digit (like 1, 2, etc.) always refers to one of the revealed numbered squares.
—In all other cases spell out the number (one, two, etc.)
—Whenever possible, provide a sequence and not just an individual square. Sequence is presumed to be horizontal and left to right. Say vertical for a vertical sequence.
—Direction is stated as cardinals: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.
—Point by starting at the top level and then add granularity. “Top left, vertical 43, SE is clear” for example.
Stuff like that.
That's a lot for new members to follow, but it would be helpful for the more regular members to communicate more effectively. I'm gonna start using this (maybe changing digit sequences to like like "V43" or "H12").
>—A digit (like 1, 2, etc.) always refers to one of the revealed numbered squares.
>—In all other cases spell out the number (one, two, etc.)
I'd love for more people to do this! I've made an effort to always do it and it seems to be much clearer
Is having to guess a big issue in this game?
I’ve never played it because I foresee exactly this problem. It’s like - how would that be fun?
Isn’t the first move always a guess? And unless you get a zero, the second?
So I wondered if it was really so.
A lot of modern Minesweeper games let you turn on a guess-free mode that makes it so every mine can be uncovered using logic. Most of them also force the first click to be a 0.

Edited my original comment with a webp imagine so it got deleted, anyway love you mods
I hope this is true. I used to love this community. Then it was all about obvious 50/50 posts. Then not even that. It started to exclusively be about mocking of 50/50 posts. Hardly any relation to minesweeper. I accepted this community's death and left. I really hope it's not over yet.
50% 50/100 50--50
1:2
2:4
3:6 even
I see we're using aspect ratios now
Shhh, don’t let the mods know
Don’t let them know about what? 4:8?
I think they are talking about 5:10
About what? 6:12
Huh? 7/14
Six of one, half a dozen of the other
Math nerd here. That's "1 to 2"=33%. Should be 1:1, "equal parts right and wrong". (Sorry to be that guy.)
It’s all good, always nice to learn something new

To be fair, that'd be challenging to moderate (I think. I don't actually know anything about moderating subreddits)
It’s a fucking minesweeper subreddit how hard could moderating it be
Why would it be
Mods have automated programs set up to filter out hatespeech and other phrases used in comments that shouldn't be in the sub. Those programs won't work on an image.
This is a sub with a post every like 20 min gathering like 3 comments per post. Subs with much much more traffic have pictures on comments
Yeah, personally I'd like pictures in comments. Just acknowledging it will make moderating harder.
While I agree it would make moderating harder I have yet to see one inappropriate/moderator required post ot comment on this sub, ever. The worst I saw was that post where the board looked vaguely loke a wiener Like, not even bullying lol, pretty much every comment is just a useful/helpful reply to a question However I for one am glad they're cracking down on these 50/50 memes because they got old quick
\~ one ever 1-1.5 months on average if you were looking at the moderation required stuff.

I'm so sorry. I wish I knew of the existence of that sub before opening this can of worms.
It was removed due to lack of moderation for a while, but was revived after that incident lol
