Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Oh? I can confirm it's true for North America and China, at least.

Is it the middle one that gets debunked?

I dig that one. I'm going to start using it over the N American set

Personally I've never seen the middle one but that just my personal experience ofc. What I do myself is the left one with a horizontal line

Edit: forgot to mention I'm from Brazil too

bro, how??, how you never saw it??, i'm so confused, my life was a ilusion??

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Honestly, it's the best one. The left system sometimes has users miscounting strikes, with the squares it's a square or it isn't.

The right one...

Come on now, guys.

Right one is 100% used in Japan. Particularly at bars and such for keeping track of how many of that drink the person/table has ordered.

French here we use both the middle and the left. It depends on the group of friends.
