Do you think that it's logical to do that?

Really. You're being silly now. Think about stuff yourself sometimes, please.

I never said it was logical. What I was saying is: If we are supposed to type words that you could type on a calculator, so if we are, are we supposed to post them all? Or are we going to post one at a time?

We don't have to post all! Just (not all.) (eat cookies! *shot*)

So, do we post lots of them?

I dunno.

You shouldn't be continuing this topic if there is no reason to.

We're just posting our finds that may be cool, not all of them.

Oh, OK. (It is still going to be deleted or locked though (I bet you).)

It will be if you keep arguing that it's pretty much pointless.

It's just a "for fun" thing. If we find any calculator word that we want to post, this topic is here for it. It's not any different from the Wonderland Screenshots topic in purpose.

So, if I posted: "You can type this word: EGO." would that be OK?

It would be locked (or deleted) anyway.

If that's something you can use numbers to type on a calculator screen (turning it upside down), yes.

... It's 2 years old. MS has had 2 years to lock or delete it and he hasn't.

If this topic needs to be locked or deleted, then so do WeFight and the Wonderland Screenshots topic - They're all 'for fun', and they all have a purpose.

So that means I could just say: "EGO." then wait for someone else to post, then say: "OGLE." then wait again for someone else to post, then say another word you can make. If that is what this topic is for then it is pure silliness.

MS doesn't have the time to look in topics.

MS already said that all forum games will be deleted except Weefight.
Wonderland Screenshots is not a forum game (or pure silliness).

This isn't a forum game either, but it is pure silliness which is worse.

Silliness? No. What's so "silly" about this topic? You can post more than one word in a post if you come up with more than one at once. Seriously, it's just logical.

billy bob · Post by **billy bob** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 9:52 pm

Then you should post all the ones you know in one post.

EDIT:

Qloof234 wrote:It's 2 years old.

It is actually around one and a half.

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 10:03 pm

deleted cuz this post is useless
EDIT: and deleting the post was also useless cuz it's quoted. oh well *shot*

No. You can post multiple words in one post.

Then you should post all the ones you know in one post.
This is the same as the palindromes topic (except worse for reasons I don't have time to explain), you can post more than one word / palindrome, but MS still said that it was pure silliness.

dlcs18 wrote:Also, even if it's not 2 years old, Q's point still stands.

MS doesn't have the time to look in topics.

Well of course you're not supposed to make just a one word post.

True, but remember he was scouring the Off-Topic forum for spam posts.

... No. Just... No.

This isn't a forum game. This isn't pure silliness. By that logic, if posting words you can find on a calculator screen upside-down is silliness, then WeFight is too. There are some people who love doing stuff like this. People who don't often misunderstand it. People who don't enjoy posting in stuff like WeFight won't understand the point of it either.

The Wonderland Screenshots topic is for posting pictures that people find funny.

WeFight is for people to post their next move in the story as entertainment.

This topic is for posting words you can make on a calculator screen which some people enjoy finding.

If this topic should be locked or deleted, then by that same rule, Wonderland Screenshots and WeFight fall under the same category.

Then you might as well have just posted all of them in one post.

... No. Just... No.

It is just like naming all words out of O, I, Z, E, h, S, g, L, B, and G, so if you are going to post a few, then you should just post all of them.

Some people enjoy finding palindromes, but that got deleted.

Qloof234 · Post by **Qloof234** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 10:44 pm

You know what? No.

You're basing your logic off of your own opinion instead of reasoning it through. Other people like stuff like this. Just because you don't doesn't mean this thread is useless.

There's such a thing as finding other possibilities later.

You're not even providing your reasoning as to why you think it's useless.

I personally think that stuff like WeFight is useless, but am I going to request a lock/delete or say that it will be locked/deleted? No. Your opinion is not fact or truth. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean that even if we don't agree with you, we have to concede with you. You're only saying this should be locked or deleted because you don't agree with it.

If forum moderation in general worked like that, there would be almost no worthwhile topics.

billy bob · Post by **billy bob** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 10:57 pm

Err, no.

It wasn't based on my own opinion, what I'm trying to say is this:

This topic is to post words you can make in a calculator upside down. So, why don't you post all of them in one post instead of posting them in several posts?
Also, this is the same as the palindromes topic, finding palindromes and finding words out of a calculator are similar, the palindromes topic got deleted because of this, so I am just presuming MS would delete this topic as well.

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 11:04 pm

Because you might have some words and then think of some more to post later?

~xpr'd~ · Post by **~xpr'd~** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 11:04 pm

It's fine that you think that MS will delete it, but some people DON'T KNOW all the possible words. That's why multiple people have to post them.

Qloof234 · Post by **Qloof234** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 11:07 pm

First of all, I'm sorry for having misunderstood your reasoning.

billy bob wrote:This topic is to post words you can make in a calculator upside down. So, why don't you post all of them in one post instead of posting them in several posts?

Because there are still other words we might find after the initial post.

Wasn't that because of the large amount of accidental thread deletions?

I'm sorry for having misunderstood your reasoning

Billy Bob, I have no idea why you think that this topic might be locked or deleted. In fact, I would bet money on it not being locked/deleted. (The only reason that It might be locked/deleted is becuase of your sillyness)
I personally like typing words upside down on a calculator. This topic is a lot more serious than certain other topics that you post in. (wefight)
Also Its not not a good idea to say that a topic will be locked/deleted without giving good reasons becasue it might offend the people that find this topic interesting. (I know I was offended).

maxnick · Post by **maxnick** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 11:12 pm

Well, now it probably going to get locked after all this arguing..

ben-09 · Post by **ben-09** » Sat May 01, 2010 2:19 am

It won't if we get back to the original topic, typing words on a calculator screen.
