what is "OH"???

 

[Lux Aeterna]

There's a search function on this forum for a reason. Use it.

OH means one-handed. http://www.cubefreak.net/other/glossary.html

Why is it so bad if people ask a repeat question? Is this board supposed to be a place where people talk to others in the community, or simply a non-changing encyclopedia of information for people to search for the answers to their questions?

For the people who constantly get pissed off and tell people to search, is it the fact that the person is asking a repeat question in a post or posting a repeat thread or what that bugs you? Why is it so hard to just ignore the question/thread and let others who have not really spoken up in this community before to answer the question?

[sarcasm]
If it is so terrible then I agree with blade740, let's lock the forum entirely and allow only qualified users to edit with new information. Perhaps allow one section where you can e-mail the qualified editor with any potential question, and only new or interesting questions will be answered. This avoids the issue of repeat posts entirely!
[/sarcasm]

Get over it! Ignore the repeat post, is that so hard? I think the "use the search function" nazis are much more annoying than the repeat posters personally. I've even tried telling people in posts to use the search function, and it feels useless and needlessly time consuming to me. I'd rather just ignore the post entirely and let others answer it.

okay, Lux Aeterna, i am getting really annoyed. i searched for "definition OH," "what does OH mean," "what is OH," and just "OH," and i couldn't find a single thread on the definition of the term. if you don't like repeat threads, then just don't answer them. see above for a more eloquent expression of my opinion.

what did you search for, exactly?
and why is it that "OH" turns up literally no results?

 

[byu]

It's the second option for "cubing abbreviations"

 

[Lux Aeterna]

First, I didn't just yell at you to use the search function, I helpfully answered your question, and provided a link to tons of other "lingo". The idea behind people telling other people to use the search function is not to prevent repeat threads, it's to keep the forum's signal-to-noise ratio high, so when anyone else browses the forum, they see a list of interesting discussions rather than a list of ["what is ____?" "it's ____." "okay, thanks"] topics. Second, as byu points out, a search for "abbreviations" would have done the trick, or even googling something like "oh rubik's cube".

@Lux: good point; that's the first time anyone has brought that up.
you may be one of the few good search nazis.

So I'm just going to butt in right here and say, THIS IS A PERFECT ANSWER.

This question could not have been answered better by this person. Not only did they give them two sources to find answers to these types of questions, they TOLD THEM THE ANSWER.

That is all.

We also have a WIKI for a reason. Use it.
