deleting the multiplacation operator
why only remove the multiplication operator, it's not like the other operators have 0 workarounds.
define add (number) + (another number)
set [addition v] to (number :: custom) //Guessing these workarounds also dont work with decimals?
change [addition v] by (another number :: custom)
define subtract (number) - (2nd number)
set [subtraction v] to (number :: custom)
change [subtraction v] by (join [-] (2nd number :: custom)

Fixed that. Some people don't know decimals, only hexadecimals.Hey bros and sisters, broExpIainsTheJoke here to explain the joke. The joke is that you can't even enter a hexadecimal number for the mod operator (because you can't enter an X). Created with the broExplainsTheJoke generator
How many “insert person here” ExplainsTheJoke users are there?

The best thing we can do is to stop discussing this suggestion and give space to other suggestions.
I doubt we'll officially ban these kind of topics outright, but I do agree that they're generally unconstructive. Even when suggested in good faith, removing a block is just something that we're not likely to do unless it's very obviously superfluous. I don't think it's something that we're likely to only consider because someone suggested it.

The multiplication block is a fundamental mathematical operator. I don't think we expect users to re-implement basic math just because they technically could.
