I could ban you so you cannot access it anymore. J/k I wouldn,t do that lol (unless you screwed up extremly bad ). I generally just post less when I feel like taking a break but I usually end up still posting like crazy at one point during the night.

I really hope add-ons can be written to support more colors in BASIC or that an Axe-style language is written for those who want to code on-calc with something close to BASIC.

Yeah when it comes out I might try programming it. I'll probably practice on my 9860G too.

And yeah I may eventually start Casio sections in the help section to not clutter the TI sections. If we get some Prizm projects, I might modify the Omni banner to add a pic of the calc in it too.

Don't look in the Randomness section

But more seriously, I'm already planning a few projects for the Prizm. I won't say more than that.

EDIT: DJ, I think there needs to be a sub-forum for the Prizm when it comes out. There are already two major threads on it here and you linked the User's guide in your 10 Million requests post. If nothing else, Omnimaga can help to launch the Casio community.

I actually meant if you started being rude to everyone or trolling and spammed outside randomness/intro, which I doubt you would do, though.

Ah ok. Well on Omni we're more open to newbies not searching, because everyone starts somewhere. It may be the person's first ever forum account so obviously the person is not gonna know to search first. You see a help section and expect it's there to ask for help. (Usually the board description says "Need help? Post here!"). On another calc forum there were new members asking questions that got answered before and they got bashed pretty bad and made look like they're stupid, and they just left, as they were not given a chance. Eventually, senior members got tired of the lack of tolerance towards newbies and the fact nothing was done to stop rude posts, so those senior members eventually gave up and joined Omnimaga and later Cemetech. Now the forum in question is nearly a ghost town.

On Omni if someone snapped at a new member for not searching first he would break rule 1. However, if a member has been around for a while and, after getting told he should search through the topics, he still doesn't bother doing any effort, then it might be another story. Same if the new member himself is being rude to others.

Basically, on Omni, I prefer that new members are not automatically categorized as n00bs. There's a difference between newbie and n00b.

Ouch I could understand the frustration then. X.x

That makes me wonder if some people aren't reposting the same questions under different account just to troll. I know someone did that before on two other calc forums. For the Axe sub-forum, I could understand that a topic is reposted multiple times since there are several pages of them and it kinda became a mess, but if the same question was asked a few topics below, then I would redirect to the previous topic.

I don't know what to do with this phenomenon long term, but short term the only alternative is to accept it. If you wrote something is rules even in bright neon yellow it does not mean newcomers will read it - they are trained not to!

That's pretty much what we end up doing.

We should probably get back on-topic though.

EDIT: This might suffice for a partial explanation of why newbies don't use the search feature: "I heard that if you press all the keys of the calculator once after 5 minutes the batteries overheat and explode." In TI's case, you don't even need to press all of the buttons
