You can use that to have us email you our emails and then you can make the google doc or something

Is your home account with your real data or online data?

it was satirical, mostly nobody used or was going to use it genuinely, and it was a joke on how people are adding more difficulties for no reason like white, blue, and black. but yeah, i do prefer the old system of just :green_square::yellow_square::orange_square::red_square::purple_square: because its simpler (a rating out of 10 can be split into 5 groups easily), and tbh difficulties shouldnt exceed the denominator, no matter how difficult it is compared to other guides since that’s why it exists anyways, to put a maximum. it’s somewhat hard to visualize what a guide would be as a 0/10, let alone an 11/10, and although it does provide more ways to express the difficulty of something, that’s not the goal of that system. new users should be able to estimate how hard a guide is easily based off of the color with minimal use of another guide. we don’t really need a somewhat complicated rating system that’s only getting more complicated overtime. maybe im just a bit critical but it does break accessibility, and if you REALLY wanted to express how difficult a guide is, you could also provide a warning or also a number rating.

But…what about this?

I’m joking, the original system is much easier… Also, imagine living in the 9th dimension…

Ok, but the other difficulties aren’t very confusing, its very simple to understand and apply.

Can we keep white, move purple to 9/10, and move black to 10/10?

i don’t know why we need to change it, the difficulties have been like that since the beginning, and other people will just keep adding more and more onto it. once again, it’s simple, we don’t need 3 added difficulties, even if it’s “simple” to understand, and to apply is not the point of the system. 8 emojis almost fills out each number 1-10, and the point is to simplify. what’s the point of adding more emoji difficulties when they literally have the same definition of another emoji difficulty? once again, if you REALLY wanted to express how difficult a guide is, you could also provide a warning or also a number rating.
