I don't think this deserves removing. It was actually quite educating. Just because people see symbols in stead of letters and don't understand it doesn't mean it's spam.

We were talking about the filter I added as a joke on a certain word that is overused in the spam forum, not the thread. I also found the thread interesting and see no reason to move it or get rid of it.

If a mod hasn't moved it there already after a couple days, what do you think? Please guys, don't tell mods where to move things and what to do with threads. If anything, just report it, but don't post in the thread that it's in the wrong place or it should be locked.

No. That's not even close to what's going on. That's logic. This is maths. They aren't really comparable in this way. Linked by a thread of concept, but not actually the same.

Additionally, both your conclusions are logical.

1/9 = .111...
*9 = .999... = 9/9 = 1

Simplification is cool...

0.999... = 1

a=0.999...
b=1

10*a = 9.999...
9*b = 9
9*b + a = 9.999...

10*a = 9*b + a
9*a = 9*b
a = b
